It's a scam. He could have family in the US do this for him, if he was really from the US. Some US banks even allow you to open accounts online.
Hope this helps, Happy Thanksgiving.

If it's alright with you, I'd like to post your message (I'll remove your personal info) as a scam example. I will also put his email address on a scammer list.
It's a good thing you caught on, if you had opened the account, this person could have overdrafted it, leaving you responsible.
