You are so right. These messages are spam but they will quickly turn into scam if you play along. The tabloid TV shows have been an endless stream of victims for many many years now. And still lots of fish bite.
Sometimes I wonder if all of these are random as I've had a few "coincidences" when I'm expecting a delivery. I never use Chrome, nor search with Google, very rarely use BookFace & never any other (anti) social media as I know how invasive they are. Yet every time I book airfares or hotels the details invariably pop up in my Android phone calendar which is supposedly not a Google calendar. So who knows how many crooks can also scan your e mail??
We've unfortunately been caught up in a couple of data breaches - one financial - so my mistrust has only grown over time. You are not paranoid if they really are out to get you - and the *******s are.
