This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram or bank transfer with a promise that you can have delivery of a vehicle that does not belong to him.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, he will ask for a deposit payment via Western Union or MoneyGram to an escrow or shipping company. All emails from the courier / shipping company are fake and from the scammer himself

In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.
