Why is this a loan scam?

1. The email address used is a free Gmail address.
2. The email was mass-mailed to many recipients using BCC.
3. The email claims to be from Barclays Bank, but does not use a Barclays domain. Scammers often claim to be real businesses, but obviously don’t have access to their real domains.
