i have been a victim of this scammer and i have lost some money because he was very convincing in emails and i asked a lot of questions and also he has new email address's. what can i do about being a victim of this?so i guess there is no way to getting my money back or getting this person taking down is there?he has sent me documents and other things and even went as far as asking my for access to my bank account but i know that under no curcumstances should anyone give out their bank account access. so i denied the request.i feel so stupid for falling victim to this.

Thank you for your response to my email. I have been seriously
preasured by the bank where my late client Mr. Matt Heathcliff
deposited the funds to present his next of kin for the claim of the
funds, otherwise it will be re-chanelled to government coffers as
unclaimed funds, this is the reason why I contact you to represent and
claim the funds as his next of kin, since there were no registerred
next of kin to his estate.

I want to assure you that this transaction is 100% legitimate and
risk-free and will be carried out without any breach of the law as I
have everything in place to see that this transaction is concluded
successfully. All I require from you is your complete honesty,
cooperation and that you follow my instructions at all time.

During the course of the bank's auditing, they discovered a floating
fund amounted to $9.5Million (Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars) deposited in an Escrow account opened in the bank in 2004 and
since 2010 nobody has operated on this account, after going through
some old files in the records, they discovered that the owner of the
account who is from your country died in a car crash on 31st of July
2010 here in Benin Republic with his wife and kids without any
registerred/traceable next of kin hence the dormant nature of the
account and if nobody comes to claim this funds it will be
re-channelled into government coffers as unclaimed funds, this is the
reason why I contacted you to stand as the beneficiary to my late
client's fund, since you answer the same last name.

I shall obtain both the death certificate and certificate of deposit
of the fund from the bank and I shall forward them to you, Please when
you get this documents, kindly handle them with utmost care and
confidentiality.

The sharing mode of the funds will be as follows: 50% to you for your
part in this transaction for providing an account as a partner, 50%
for me. However, please observe this transaction with utmost care and
confidentiality.

I have just used your information to complete and submit an
application of fund claim on your
behalf to the bank. I want you to let me know when the bank contacts
you. Here is my direct phone number where you can reach me at any time
+229-688-42-643 and attached also is a copy of my ID for your records.

I wait to hear from you.

Regards.
