“And some other African leaders.” Yeah, like an official from world organization is going to slight any world leader.

Advertised a mower for sale on Craigs list. Responder(from out of state) sent check signed by”Robert Mugabe”. Still dead.

Did some checking and found that the address is legitimate but would not bet on the office portion. The phone number is a phony and the email is from Hungary.

The only part of that email that sounds legit is the meeting that lasted from Oct 25th of 2019 to June 25th of 2020.... that's actually a pretty short span of time for buerocrats and politicians to come up with any thing relevant and practical.

Obviously they don't 'proof read'. Had they left out the "i" it would have looked legit. The truly sad thing is someone, not recognizing it as a scam, will fall for it.
