A loan scam on Facebook

On Facebook there was a post from "Eric Fernandez" offering loans. It was one of many going around currently. This one said:
"Hello

Must I pay you anything to set up the loan?

just an insurance that you pay in the event of non-royalty

How much is that? Do I pay that before I get the loan?

€68

And I pay this in advance?

After signing the agreement contract you pay her for the insurance costs of the transfer of funds to your account and in case of illness or non payment of sub insurance supports

So it's an advance fee?

yes
Do we need to know anything else?
