All they needed was to send out an e-mail to her address (or millions of random addresses hoping that some of them were real). If she replies in any way at all, she's doing their spy work for them.
Even answering with the equivalent of "Bugger off. I'm not falling for it," lets the phishermen know that they've hit a legit e-mail address.
