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 Gmail address.

  • The ridiculous upper amount of loan being offered.
  • The email originated from South Africa, which is a known Advance Fee Fraud hotspot.
