One might argue that, considering most people who receive email still respond to phishing attacks (I cannot quote the number off-hand, but I know it was recently posted on a major), that any other seemingly innocuous information could be used to fashion target-specific phishing attacks. It seems probable that a regular person (my grandmother, aunt, father, etc.), already succeptible to scams, would be doubly so if transaction/account/address-specific information were included. All scams rely on the illusion of credibility and the addition of ANY specific information, regardless of source, gives credence to what should be dismissed offhand.
