Now this one is really interesting. Why would would anyone want to cash in a bank draft and deposit the money with a parcel express company?
(Does he mean UPS?)
At the best, this is a very dubious story.

Looking at the title a lot of people would have no idea where or what “Côte d’Ivoire” actually is. This the French name for the Ivory Coast, which is in West Africa. Being it was a French colony, French is still used in daily life there. The map shows other areas where French is spoken in Africa.
This means that any French speaking person answering a scam message written in French, can be “served” by an African who speaks the language fluently. This is an alternative which would only apply to the French language and maybe Portuguese, as these two languages are spoken on the African continent.

It really looks as though Google is getting better at recognising these e-mails as fraudulent. I hope they get better at it, because it will save a lot of heartbreak if they do.
