Why is this a loan scam?
- It was sent from a totally different email address to the one that you are asked to reply to.
- The email address used is a free Outlook.com address.
- The email was mass-mailed to many recipients using BCC.
- The email gives no indication of who is offering the loan, where they are based or who they are regulated by.
- The email originates from Brazil. Lenders are only authorised to offer loans in the country they are located. So if this email was from a legitimate lender (it isn’t), they would not be able to offer loans to individuals outside of Brazil.
