If you are pretty damn sure that scammer does not know your real name or facebook, and you stopped the scam before he was able to finish his threats it may be ok to reactivate the old one with changed details, however,most of the time this is not the case, and most victims want to do everything necessary not to expose themselves further.
Do you know of case where scammer coming back to reactivated profile? You know very hard to add hundreds old friends again.
