Why is this a loan scam?
- The email address used is a free Gmail address.
- The email was sent to multiple recipients, all of whose email addresses are visible in the To: line. A legitimate lender would not breach privacy in this way.
- The email gives no indication of who is offering the loan, where they are based or who they are regulated by.
