Why is this a loan scam?

1. The email address used is a free Yandex email address.
2. The email was mass-mailed to many recipients using BCC.
3. The ridiculous upper amount of loan being offered.
4. The use of the phrase “God Bless” is indicative of a West African scammer, many of whom view religion as indicating honesty and trust.
