摘要:汇款,托收以及信用证是国际贸易中最基本的三种结算方式。而信用证作为国际贸易中最主要的结算方式，为推动国际贸易的发展起到了至关重要的作用。 随着我国加入世贸组织，国际贸易快速发展，国与国之间的交易量也越来越大，国内金融市场也逐步开放，而信用证作为主要的进出口贸易支付方式之一，也被进出口贸易企业越来越广泛的运用于国际贸易之中，但是，伴随而来的信用证诈骗风险也将越来越高。信用证诈骗风险一旦发生，不仅给受害者造成巨大的经济损失，而且还会妨碍国际贸易和金融管理的正常秩序。最近几年来信用证诈骗案件的屡屡发生是由于信用证自身存在的缺陷性造成的，而且，信用证诈骗案件具有法律适用性、跨国性、程序复杂、费用较高等特点,加上信用证业务的复杂性也加重了信用证诈骗金融监管难度。   

    我们应如何预防信用证业务中的诈骗活动，保障国际贸易的正常运行环境。本论文收集整理了一些对信用证案例的看法，在学习理解的基础上进行归纳。并分析我国进出口公司以及相关银行面临的信用证诈骗行为，提出了相应的防范措施。但是由于科技的进步、社会的发展以及诈骗手段的日新月异，这一客观条件致使我们在总结经验的基础上，不断创新学习。
