Pat yourself on the back for checking things out. Consider changing you phone numbers and mail address.

Usually ignoring is the best option, but by all means please inform your local police.

What do I do if I think I've been scammed?

Cease all communications with the scammer immediately. Delete any emails unopened and hang up if the scammer calls you.

Report the scam to your local police and to the Internet Crime Complaint Centre if you are in the US. There is not much chance that the scammer will be caught, as he is probably overseas and certainly using false details. However, the more scams are reported, the more the authorities can tell how widespread it is, and the greater the effort that goes into stopping it.

If you have given the scammer your bank account, credit card or other financial details, tell your bank, card company or other provider immediately, and ask them to change your accounts and card numbers.

Do not accept any deliveries that are from the scammer or that you are not expecting. If you receive a check or something similar (such as a money order) take it to your bank or local police and tell them you think it is fake.

Do not panic. Whilst scammers are criminals and some of them are dangerous, the risks are negligible if you simply stop communicating with them. If you are in any doubt about your safety, report your concerns to your local police, who will be able to advise you.

Don't expect to get your money back. I am afraid there is very little prospect of that happening, and anyone who tells you they can get your money back for a fee is a scammer. Please see our section on money recovery scams for more information.

Spread the word. We know it's very uncomfortable to feel that you got conned, or nearly got conned, but if you fell for it, so will others. Talking about it may be hard, but the more you help educate everyone about scams, the less opportunities there are for scammers to defraud others

Thanks for your help,I will just cease contact with the person and see if he tries to contact me, I have a couple of phone numbers that may come in handy if i pass onto the authorities,

Luckily i googled his email address and it brought me to this site,

Probably not luck. You seem to have doubts, or you wouldn't have checked.
Do the "mobile numbers" start with 4470? They are free UK redirect numbers that transfer incoming calls to another pone anywhere in the world.
There's little or nothing your local police can do, I'm afraid.

Yes they were them numbers,on the luck front i just got this feeling that he had a lot of personal info about me, and all i had was an email address and name,thankfully there's sites like this that stop dunces like me from nearly being sucked in. thanks again.

Dont ring those 0044070 numbers.. They can cost a fortune.. bigfish

Luckily i googled his email address and it brought me to this site, he has my full name,address, home and mobile telephone numbers,plus email address,is this cause for concern?,is there any one i should contact such as police etc.He does not know that i now know he is trying to scam me.

This guy is defo in Nigeria, aside from the annoyance he brings.. You are in little personal danger

Yes, Big Fish, 4470 numbers are charged at the rate for a call to the UK plus there is the charge of a call to the Scammers location from the UK added to it.

Even a call to a person in the same country as the owner would be very expensive

Thanks for all your help he is now asking me which bank am i with,he has asked to name 1 of 2 and 1 of them is the right 1?what limit i have and that payment will be sent soon.Still havent contacted any authorities what should i do?

Drop him. He is fishing for information, and still looking for other ways to scam you, such as flashing your account (making it look like he transferred money) or using a phished bank account or stolen credit card to transfer money (leaving you liable for the money and possibly criminal charges when it is discovered that you were receiving stolen money. Do not give him any more information about you, and definitely don't share any kind of banking information with any stranger.

Just ignore him, block him, his email, and his phone numbers. If you feel you must respond, simply tell him that you are no longer interested in the transaction, and not to contact you again. If he tries, ignore him and eventually he will drop you and move onto something with a better chance of a payout. If he threatens you (some scammers like to make threats in an attempt to keep the victim in contact) ignore those too--if he threatens you with physical harm, report the threats to law enforcement. He cannot do anything to you (he is not in your country and won't be traveling anywhere near you), and you have not done anything illegal. If you are emailed by anyone claiming to be law enforcement (FBI, police, EFCC etc.) ignore them too.

thanks
