Yep, they’re doing all kinds of scams. Saw an interview with an Ethiopian mother of a man, who was lured to Russia for training and work as a an electrical powerline technician. Then they tell him, he could be a drone pilot. They make him sign documents in Russian that he doesn’t understand. Then he lands on the front line as a foot soldier, not a drone pilot, gets berated by his officers all the time.

Iirc he managed to flee from the hospital, but I’m unsure if he made it back to Ethiopia.
