Why is this a loan scam?

1. The email addresses used is a free Outlook address.
2. The telephone number is a mobile phone from Benin. Legitimate companies do not use mobile phones and Benin is a known Advance Fee Fraud hotspot.
3. The message was posted on an anti-scam forum. Legitimate businesses do not spam forums and to spam an anti-scam forum would indicate that this scammer is a total idiot.
4. The email gives no indication of who is offering the loan or who they are regulated by.
5. The ridiculous low interest rate being offered.
