Loan Scam – ts.shilubanet111@live.co.uk

Why is this a loan scam?

  1. The email address used is a free Gmail address.
  2. The email gives no indication of who is offering the loan, where they are based or who they are regulated by. Legitimate lenders would provide these details on every communication.
  3. Legitimate lenders do not suddenly write to people who applied for a loan with them 3 years before.
  4. The poor grammar is indicative of a West African scammer.
  5. Legitimate lenders do not charge upfront fees to get loans.
