I noticed it too!!

I received a settle offer on Tuesday for a debt that is 12 years old!!!!

They offered $1600 on a $2000 bill (the original bill was $400).  They even put on the bottom of the letter that they cannot report to the credit bureaus nor sue me because of the age of the accounts.  I wonder if anyone really falls for these.  Now if it was a settlement for $400 I probably would have done it to clear my own conscience.
