Loan Scam - [email protected]

I applied for business financing and I was approved for a substantial loan by Corps Financial and Security Services.

They requested an upfront payment for legal costs. Is this a scam?

It's a scam - legitimate lenders will not be using free Gmail email addresses or asking you to pay up front fees. Any fees would be added to the loan, not requested as a payment before the loan is granted.
