Umm, what if that scammer is using BIP32 for sucker-tracking?

Reusing addresses is deprecated, you know.

Totally legit  Grin

If I were you I would scan the computer and change passwords.

Why?

As long as they haven't gone to any of the links etc. They should be fine. Although, if they are worried then they could change their passwords.

Oh. Well. I can't believe they would waste their time sending that. Never expect anything for free in life. You should be fine there on out.
