9月初,一位喀麦隆的绅士在TRADEMANGER上加我为好友,谈得很投机,说看了网站，对我所经营的产品很感兴趣,要我把我们的价格表发到他的邮箱,收到我的价格表后,对方及时发来邮件说他要他指定的三款产品的10个40尺柜的货物,要我把形式发票先发给他确认。一次性要这么多货物，我当时第一反应是,我遇到骗子了.做外贸2年多来,西非骗子多,见得多了,听得多了,象西非国家尼日利亚、贝宁，骗子特多，甚至这些国家正规银行开出的正规信用证都靠不住！而喀麦隆恰恰位于西非。我心存戒备，“死马当活马医”，把形式发票发给对方，我们商谈好的付款方式是预付30%的定金，对方收到形式发票后，发来邮件说，他正在向他客户们收集货款，要过几天收集完毕才能把货款电汇过来。我心想，对方已经表露出了诚意，不能“一棍子打死所有人”，不能说所有西非的客户都是骗子。我对这个客户产生了信心！
数天后，对方发来邮件，说货款已电汇到我公司账号，未来数天请注意查收，并把银行电汇的存根联以附件的形式一并发到我的邮箱。我打开对方发过来的电汇存根联，上面的银行印章清晰可见，的确是银行的原件真件，然而出乎我意料的是，对方电汇的不是30%的预付款，而是100%的货款！当时我心想，这是个巨大的疑点，没有人会这样做生意，但如果能预先收到全部货款，对方已经显示全部的诚意，这个单子没有理由不接！我随后发邮件和对方商谈包装、交货期等方面的细节，同时耐心等几天，等对方的货款到账后，即刻安排生产！随后几天对方又发来邮件，问我货款收到没有，收到要及时通知他。对方如此有诚意，我始真正对这个客户产生了信心！
为安全起见,隐去了我司的名字地址,电话和传真,还请谅解.
各位外贸界的朋友们,请辨别其真伪!
又过了一二天，又收到一封邮件，这封邮件终于让对方露出了狐狸尾巴! ......Payment information
