HI I recieved an email of you guys warning me that I had been scammed by this certain person but I am still recieving these emails I had not replyed to them. This person is not on the 419 list as I had a look or anywhere else. In myself I know they are scamming me though what can I do to stop the emails as they are persistant that I answer them.

Thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully reply to this.

Is it the scammer you are still receiving the emails from or is it us?

It is estimated that there is anything between 50,000 to 100,000 scammers operating out of Nigeria alone and many more worldwide. There is no speific list to check if someone is a scammer or legit. It would be almost impossible to keep track of all the scammer and what their current aliasies were (which they change frequently).

If you want to stop emails the best thing to do is block the email addresses that they are coming from. Although if scammers know that they aren't getting through they will probably just change their email address and start contacting you from a new one. So if its feasible change your email address, and get yourself a new account. However I understand this is not always practical.
