Opinions needed!! Does this seem like a scam? (i.e identity theft)?
I replied to some ads on a craigslist type website (kijiji.ca) to look for a personal loan. All of the replies I’ve gotten are by email, most domains ending with @live or @hotmail or @gmail (I thought most companies would use their own email. And here’s copy and paste what the replies were. What do you think:

I am in receipt of your mail and if you are interested in getting a loan from our company, then i will like to know more about your background including your full name, contact address and the exact amount you intend borrowing as loan. Below is the company loan application fill in necessary data and get back to us.—— Then it goes on to ask name/address/drivers lisence number etc.
You are being scammed … don’t ever give out your information over the internet … unless you know where it’s going …. I would never go for a loan over the internet … go to a bank or loan company in your area that is reputable … people try to do too much online and they don’t know who they are dealing with.
