Can anyone help me out?
I matched with a guy on an online dating site. We exchanged numbers and we communicated via text on the first day, but the very next day he called me via WhatsApp but instead of the usual getting to know one another, he told me that he received an email from a company suggesting that his late wife had received a lump sum amount of 1.5 million pounds, but to receive the amount, he asked me to help him by emailing back to the company to tell them that I am his fiance/trusted person. He told me to give them only his full name and age, and the company will email me back asking for my information. What struck me then was that within a few minutes, an email arrived asking me for my personal information that I wasn't happy to give them, so I told the guy in question that I don't feel comfortable giving out personal details and confronted him that it sounds like a scam, but he was very adamant that the money was his and that he had worked for it and had forgot that he had the account, saying that over the past few years it had accumulated interest. The only problem was that it was in his late wife's name, therefore couldn't claim it without my involvement. The more he's trying to convince me, the more I'm thinking this man isn't geniune. Can any anyone tell me if he's true or not....here's the reply back to my email that I got.....

That is a common scam format, which you'll often see in your inbox with slight variations. So yes, based on that email alone, the person you are talking with is not legitimate. If you want more information on this and similar scams, I would recommend checking out scamwarners.com.
