Loan Scam – conley181@usa.com
Following on from this post, since this scammer was dumb enough to spam his initial email to an email address that had “scamwarner” in it, I thought I’d see just how dumb he is (using an untraceable throw away email address).
The below loan scam email was sent to an email address that exists only to catch scam emails. It has never been used to register on any site, only to communicate with scammers.

Why is this a loan scam?
- The email address used is a free address.
- The email was mass-mailed to many recipients using BCC.
- The email claims that they can offer loans in any country in the world – no legitimate lender could do that, as they would need to be registered, authorised and have a physical presence in each country.
- The ridiculous upper amount of loan being offered.
- The email originated from Kenya, which is a known Advance Fee Fraud hotspot.
