As I stated before this guy has been in contact with me about an amount of money that is supossed to be due to me, LIKE I STATED,,,when questioned about the truthfulness about this he emailed a copy of his ID, PASSPORT, CERTIFIED LEGAL COPY OF HIS DEGREE AS A LAWYER AND ALL OF HIS INFORMATION, when checked all of these passed inspection, all info states he is legit but still a little unsure, does anybody have any good sugestions on how I can check this out some more instead of just jumping the gun and saying SCAM!!! in other words any one out there with any logical ideas on how to further find out how true this might be?

You can contact the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints, or contact the Bar association in your state if he is an attorney. Contacting the police can give you some helpful info also.

Does he want a "delivery" or "processing" fee or some bank account details? Then it's a scam. It is EASY to fake any and all of those documents. There are lots of real lawyers who are crooks, too!
Offer him 25% of the money if he'll put the rest in CASH in a sack and send it to meet you somewhere public in a cab. NEVER give someone that approached you (however legit they may seem) any bank account details, they will empty your account.
There is no such thing as free money. You cannot win something you did not enter, and rich relatives never die and leave another estranged relative money without some form of contact first.

Scam.
If you have to pay fees up front before you can receive your money, it's a scam.
Why doesn't he just deduct his fee from your money and send it on to you?

send him a reply that you will print out his messages and send to the cops in your town.
