They are on the same premise as a Trojan Horse virus.Find an opening,and exploit it.They are automated programs send out,to find any form of web-page that they are able to place an automated message.Think of them as those phone calls you get during lunch time,saying you've won a luxury car,or something.

Much like the event it is named after, it requires the user to let it in. Although I suppose you could call that an exploit..

surely a simple 'key in the digits you see here to finish registering your account' thing would stop these?

Believe it or not... loads of people use gold buying services. AKA chinese farmers: people who just go on the game and earn gold all day until they have enough to begin selling it.
