Yes, that's a scam email with very typical red flags. Well spotted!

I've lost track of how many times I've seen this in a scammer email: "hope all is well with you and your family".
Scammers also frequently claim to be engineers. Of course, the grammar, spelling and sentence structure are not consistent at all with someone who was raised in the UK.

I'm adding the email address from the email, in a different format, so that it will show up in searches: [email protected]

Have you sent a payment to a scammer with Western Union and now realize it's a scam? If the payment has not been picked up, you can cancel it immediately! 1-800-448-1492

His name is spelled with a double R n there's no R in his last name. His email add is [email protected]

Thank you for correcting my typo!

In answer to your question: Unfortunately, internet fraud only appears to be increasing. :evil:
