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 addresses used are a free Gmail address and an address on an anonymously regstered domain.
• The email was mass-mailed to many recipients using BCC.
• The company claim to be based in Delaware, that means that legally they can only offer loans in that state.
• The ridiculous amounts of loan being offered.
