It's a scam - real lenders do not advertise on Facebook.

If you can't get a loan from a recognised bank in your own country, you're not going to find one on the Internet, all you will find is scammers looking to steal from you.

What email address is the scammer using?

The best thing to do is block them and don't respond any further. They will keep lying to you and telling you that the money is ready for you.
