Yes, of course, spam just goes in the bin. But nevertheless it is important for us all to let site administrators know when a breach has occurred - and to check what other personal data may have been exfiltrated at the same time. Personally, I take data breaches seriously, as every piece of stolen data adds to criminals’ armouries for future more complex attacks. Luckily I have stored very little on walkhighlands - no credit cards, data of birth, home address etc. Other users may not be in the same position.
It is also important to ensure other users know about breaches because someone out there will have used the same password for this site and other more important sites - and other users will fall for the scam and click on the fake Amazon email.
As the administrator said, it is possible that this is the theft of addresses from a long time ago (or recent breach of an old backup), and perhaps only now bought by scammers from the dark web.
