Why is this a loan scam?

1. The email address used is a free Outlook.com addresses.
2. The email was mass-mailed to many recipients, with their email addresses viewable in the To: field – no legitimate company would violate customer privacy like that.
3. The email gives no indication of the company offering the loan, where they are based or who they are regulated by.
4. The ridiculous interest rate being offered with no credit checks.
