In these emails the scammers claim to be offering loans to business and individuals at favourable rates. Usually they will claim to be based in the UK, Nigeria, Benin or Malaysia. They say they will loan you money, but first you must send money to their lawyer or bank (which are really the same person that is promising the fake loan). Reasons given for the upfront payment are usually insurance fees or bank fees.
In reality, no one outside your own country will offer you (an individual or a small business) a loan, especially not a loan without collateral. Yes, there are international loans, but they are typically only available to governments or to the largest of corporates. If you can't get a loan from a bank in your country, why would a foreigner who has no direct access to the courts in your country engage in the risk of lending you funds? That's why international consumer lending makes no sense. Any such offer is a scam to trick you into sending money to the scammers who are promising you a loan. Never send money to strangers by Western Union, but even if they give you a bank account to send money to, this sort of loan offer is still a scam.

Hello VictimName,
I am in receipt of your email. I will be able to offer you the loan of $10.000.00 I have stated the terms of the loan below for you to see and tell me if you are in agreement with the loan terms or not.
*Loan Amount:$10.000.00USD
*Loan Rate :5%
*Duration: 5years(60months)
*Loan Interest;$500USD
*MonthlyPayment:$175USD
*Total Payment:$10,500.00USD
CONDITION
There are two option which you are required to choose from which is the collaterals and non collateral loans
1. Collaterals Process: I usually require an equity based property as collateral for my loan aquisition. You need to send me a collateral for this loan so that i may have the trust that as soon as i give you this loan, you will pay back at the need of the terms. I do not accept any other property type or kind due to the fact that some of our customers have missed used this oppotunity. They some times claim to have properties and send us copies of ownership, and when they are not able to pay back the loan and i want to claim these properties i then find out that the properties belong to their family.The family will then say they did not attest to the transaction at first so please you have to make sure that the collaterals you are dropping belongs to you and notyour family.
Non Collaterals Process: This process required deposited of payment. For the loan of $10,000.00 you are entitled to send a payment of $350 so that if you are unable to pay back the loan,your collaral will be claim and you will be placed on the media house by the bank as most wanted person which will destroy your family names plus yours. If you pay back the loan,your payment will be returned back to you. One thing about this alternative option is that it is a Non-collateral/security obtained from banks here which is popularly known as bank securities. When you obtain this non-collateral/security, it actually yield value which will eventually be equivalent to the loan you are obtaining during the stipulated duration of the loan. When you are unable to pay back the issuing Bank take the non-collateral which has yielded value as substitute for the loan.
I will issue out your loan to the transfering bank immediately the collateral is provided or the non collateral for the loan is acquired from the bank. Because of the risk and expenses when collarals are presented, So this is why i personally will always advice that our customers should simply go for the non collateral alternative when they do not have an equity based property to present as colleral.But if you still insist that you present an quity based property then that will be ok with us.
2. Transfer Of Your Loan:
Bank to Bank Transfer : The transfer of the loan must be a bank to bank transfer, except otherwise stated by the borrower which means, you will have to provide the means which you want your loan transfer to you.
3. Loan agreement document:The Loan agreement document need to be signed to trust some guarntee of you to me that i can trust you. Remember that is a large some of amount which is needed by you.
4. Loan refund:The loan must refunded back to the lender at the end of the tenure the loan seeker is seeking the loan for without any delay.for this reason, for this reason,we are giving a maximum duration of five years to the loan seeker so that he /she will be able to repay the loan within that period.
And note that you willhave to send me a copy of your identity card so that i may know who i am dealing with.
Considering the above conditions if they are acceptable to you,you have to give me a fast response so that i can assign my lawyer to send you the loan agreement document , so that i can start processing your loan.if you have a friend phone unmber please send it to us so that we can rich you better.
Have a nice day
