Why is this a loan scam?

  1. It was sent from a totally different email address to the one that you are asked to reply to.
  2. One of the email addresses used is a free Yahoo address and the other from a recently registered fake domain.
  3. The email was mass-mailed to many recipients using BCC.
  4. The ridiculous upper amount of loan being offered.
