I've been scammed! Can I trace from emails?

I think I have been scammed (my own fault really), but I am trying to trace the ip address of the scammer from emails. Can this be done?

I view the whole header from a reply I received from him and use a whois lookup on the ipaddress' listed. However they all seem to be linked to an organisation called RIPE NCC? Is this something unitedhosting use?

Is there any further hope for me in tracing this guy? Thanks in advance for help...

RIPE control european IP addresses..

If you want to Private Message me the info I would be happy to take a look for you at this?

The chances are however that the IP will just be a proxy or hacked computer of someone unrelated to any such proboems.
