What probably happened is that some site that she used got hacked and they stored passwords unencrypted. The e-mail address, password combinations are sold for pennies to hackers who try to monetize them. She should change passwords on any other site where she used that password. She can probably find which site leaked the password here or here. Don't engage with the scammers.
