"From" is the wrong word. "Pretending to be from" is what you mean. If you look at the targets of the URLs in the email you will find things like
http://hacked.web.site.somewhere/a/random/directory/name/target-bank-phishing-scam-here
I have accounts with several financial organisations. There are no links in their emails. You have to fill in your own link in your browser.
