Your email was likely hacked and is now sending spam links to all your contacts. Happens quite a lot, had a bunch of people on my IM list keep messaging me about some weight loss product they tried, spam obviously.
Yup, you must have clicked on something that caused your email to be "hacked". A virus/person is now using your account and sending them links so they can have the same thing happen to them.
I wouldn't say your email was hacked .... it was merely hijacked.
Just change your password and it should stop.
