今天早上打开邮件一看，有一封来自英国的询盘。为什么我判断是英国的，通过邮箱我访问了他公司的网站，结尾是uk。在我的印象中，英国可是资深的资本主义国家，人人绅士，个个礼貌。但是万万没想到，这个客户竟然是个骗子。且请往下看：

Kingdom(UK) registered with the

说要在货到之后在付款，并且货到之后的45，60，或者90天之后再付款。我一看就不对头，但是毅冰老师曾经说过，先不要着急下结论，具体分析之后再下结论。于是，我回复他的邮件，不提付款的事，先确定一下细节问题再说，从数量和认证方面入手。
我回复如下：
Hi Dear RAYMOND JOHN;

意思是说有50万个的数量，而且不需要认证，但是付款方式必须是前面提到的那样；
我继续不理会付款问题，问他是否需要样品；
Hi Dear RAYMOND JOHN;
Do you need some sample for a test?
他又回复；
Many thanks for your response we dont need any samples all what we
need is good quality。
50万个产品，一个样品都不要，要求我们直接发到非洲的港口去，正常人来说，难道这里面没有什么蹊跷吗？我想答案是肯定的；于是回复以下一封邮件，内容是说跟经理沟通过了，付款方式只能接受T/T；
Hi Dear RAYMOND JOHN;
Just right now ,i communicate with manager that the only payment way
be accepeted is T/T ,30% deposit; 70% before shipment.
立刻，他又回复了；语气几乎是乞求，还是坚持原来的付款方式。刚好，我今天阅读外贸相关的书籍，里面提到了付款问题。O/A的风险是最大的，虽然欧美人的信用要比其他国家也要好一点，但是，不管哪个国家都有人渣，不是么？
做外贸的朋友们注意了，凡是请求O/A付款的客户，能不做就不做吧，不然一个损失下来，可是兜不住的。
