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. The email address used is a free Gmail address.
3. The email was mass-mailed to many recipients using BCC.
4. The email gives no indication of who is offering the loan, where they are based or who they are regulated by.
