I just got one with nearly the same wording. "I am aware [old password] is your passphrases. Lets get directly to point..." sent from 202.140.33.240 using the spoofed email address oo@r.com.

The bitcoin address is different: 1ELzee2T9Wd5YPTYhWbWD3xK7xB5tJ94J4

Looks like the scam worked a couple times so far: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1ELzee2T9Wd5YPTYhWbWD...

I’ve checked into some of these wallets and some of the early ones (I started receiving these several months ago) had $10k-$16k worth in deposits. And then some have none.

Oh, interesting! I've never seen anyone running this scam reuse a wallet before.

Yep I got a different one too, 1GjZSJnpU4AfTS8vmre6rx7eQgeMUq8VYr

Different too for me 1KeCBKUgQDyyMpaXhfpRi2qUvyrjcsT44o

Quick search turned up 5 unique wallets for me :\

Interestingly this address has revived 3.5489BTC and transferred most of it to: 3NLSUFJxkkW26cZKTVLrcfBQhiN7eHBET3
