Well, they can spam the recipient mentioned in the form
(that is, whoever is referred to with '12345'). Now, if
there's just a few of those 'keys', no spammer will bother.
But if you have thousands of people in your database, and
the keys can be easily guessed (for instance, because you
use consecutive numbers), a spammer can use the form by
just guessing keys.
