This was a discussion with someone who lost money with the SKL lottery scam

I often get contacted from people who have lost money to the various lottery scams. Here is one on Yahoo, where "Hassan" reports having lost 2150 Euros on the SKL lottery scam!

 

Remember that? I reported on that one only a couple of days ago.
