Hello!

It's a scam! The first number is a Nigerian number and the second is from Benin both prominent scammer countries. Everything else you posted are also sure signs of a scam. Stop all communication with the scammer. Block his email, chats and ignore his calls. Everything he told you was a lie in order to steal your money.

I'm sorry you were targeted by the scammer but glad you got suspicious.

Most email services have filters which allow you to send mail from an email address directly to the trash folder. Just google filters+your email service ie yahoo

Scammers are after money not to harm you the scammer does not make money physically harming you. They are lazy by nature or they would be doing a real job. The worst case would be the scammer may use your details like your name and address to scam other people pretending to be you.
