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 where the company offering the loan are based or who they are regulated by.
5. There is no such thing as lenders who operate worldwide. Lenders in a particular country would have to have a registered entity that is authorised there, and has a physical presence there. That business would also only do business in that country.
