If you are receiving an email for investment opportunities, it is likely a scam. To the best of my knowledge, no legitimate investor will send you an unsolicited email about some great money making scheme. What is likely to happen is you give them your account information, and they withdraw your money out of your account. You will likely have to close your affected account, and open a new account. You would then have issues with your SSI benefits if you have direct deposit. Do NOT give your account numbers to a stranger with this amazing way of making money.
