Earlier they used breached passwords associated with the email address to try to add some credibility. They don't bother now. Just another scam meme to join the rest for eternity.

I can confirm they do still bother; I received an email doing this earlier this week.

Ok, I stand corrected. I think the original scam is just outnumbered now.
