Yes, I've received a similar message. I do have my email address listed here in the public info. I took it to be spam, as well, and just deleted it.

Interesting how cold contacts are problematic in both directions; from entrepreneur to investor and from investor to entrepreneur (though I'd never heard of AEI, and it sounds like they are middlemen rather than actual investment decision makers, and so that makes me less likely to respond, anyway).
