No. They can't get any information that you don't give them. This is how one of those scams work:

-Them: I'll give you 10 million dollars if you help me transfer some money
-You: I am interested in this, how do I do it?
-Them: Simply wire us Ten Thousand Dollars($10,000). We'll then give you the ten million dollars.
-You: ok *does it*
-Them: HAHAHAHA, we're not going to give you anything, SUCKER
-You: :'(

Just ignore the emails and you'll be fine.
