Is it secure to receive money from a stranger before receiving endorsing documents stating the money is clean?

A stranger has appointed me to be the beneficiary of his money. He decided to transfer the money to me as he will not be able to manage the use of the money because of his bad illness; and he does not rely on his family. However, I requested him and his lawyer to provide me with relevant legal documentations that among others declares that the money is clean, even though he claimed so in his email. His lawyer replied in his letter e-mailed to me "We need your bank account details to impute in the legal documentation work, only thereafter will we be able to provide you with the documentation work requested. However, be advised that all procedures are within the legality of the laws governing transfer of this nature and prior to remittance, we shall have all needful legal backing and documentation exempting the funds as proceed from any illegal activities as well as document(s) protecting you as the legal beneficiary to the title as requested".

This is a scam.

Please do not go any further with this transaction. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS. They will clean your account out. If you have already given them any information, immediately go to your bank and put a hold on transactions or change your account. You're bank can help you with what you need to do.

The United States Federal Trade Commission has issued a consumer alert about the Nigerian scam. It says:

"If you receive an offer via email from someone claiming to need your help getting money out of Nigeria 鈥?or any other country, for that matter 鈥?forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov."[1]

The United States Department of the Treasury maintains an account for the public to send 419 related documents:

"You may also email the 419er documents, especially any banking data they may have given you, marked as described above, to Task Force Main in DC 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov; that is also acceptable

you should call the police. You are being scammed.

I too have such a reputation that strangers wish to send me large amounts of cash. All they need is my bank information. ITS A SCAM! With your bank routing number, account number , bank name and your name they can take every penny your have. If you have revealed any of this information contact your bank immediately to stop payment on all charges.

Get the them to send legal papers if they don,t something ups then report them to police have they ask for you send money to them don,t do that just get out of this and chane your bank account good luck

Every week I will get these kinds of mail.
It's scam, just don't give any personnel information about to u.
