We need you to know that we have recieved the message that you sent to

Therefore,we need you to know that once you signed the mou agreement
letter and send it back to us we are going to ask you to make a trip
to our office in Madrid-Spain where the both companies will hold a
meeting and discuss the transaction and if there is any fees it must
be paid over there direct.
So there is noway this huge project will be handle without the lendee
take some expenses but everything must be face to face as to proof to
you that we are not the type of people you are thinking about and we
need to proof to you that we are here for real business as you are not
going to send any fee on air without us met face to face.
Meanwhile,for you to visit us will let you know what we are capable
and also as to enable us know you very well for security reason as
this will help us know who we are lending this huge amount of money
too.
If your company is ready to work with us over this condition,then we

Also we need you to know that our % is not negotiable and is 3.5 for
the total amount needed as loan for your company and also we need you

advantage of anybody but we are here for business.
Looking forward hearing from you soonest.

My reply was to tell them to cancel the application - although still none was submitted, there was still no application form in hand or sent to me.
Check your resources, such as Google Earth. There is also no #501 on the Avenue Montaigne... it is a SHORT residential street, and Street View takes you to #27 (which has NO business markings) when asked for that address.
Apart from a dubious business address a GMail email address is a clear sign that it is a scam, also asking for up-front fees is a huge indicator. If you pay any fees up front you may be sure that the emails and addresses will disappear and you will never hear from them again.
Real businesses and lenders can afford a web site and they use that domain name for emails.
If they do provide an email address on a domain name, check further by chopping off the domain name and checking for content. In other words, if they send you
[email protected], check the domain4711.com for a valid domain and that it has suitable content. Even looking for the Seymour J character as a principal in the company... honest business people don't hide from their potential customers.
A further check would be to do a WHOIS check on the domain name domain4711.com - who does it belong to, where is it located, and what is the Administrative contact?
