As A note of caution a past friend did exactly the same thing. Went to the UK to work but was too lazy so decided on the credit card scam way. came back bought a bar down in Chumphon and for a few years all was well. Then his TGF ( shes not like the others she wouldnt take a penny from me ) who he decided he would rather stick by than a good fellow farang sold everything and he has now had to borrow money to get out of the country. The old adage that you get what you work for is one i think works.
OH and Vietnamese jails are probably full of scousers who were "stitched up by someone" ! Stick to liverpool as English is hard enough for you to learn never mind another language.  |

For characters like this preliterate goon the credit card scam could be the new sure way to get around visa runs once and for all.
Just think (a new experience for some), OP and his weed-puffer pals could obtain a 10-year stay with minimal paperwork and no early-morning bus to a grotty border town full of touts.
They could be on to a winner!  |

i think the phrase is semi-literate johnny k..... ha! as for 7- 10 years for a credit card scam in england, has anyone read the papers lately? a judge failed to jail a down loader of child porn beacause the jails are so full. so if they can't find room for a sick f**k like that, how are they going to jail people for minor frauds. i think this thread has run its course, but in conclusion, some ideas are so crazy, you just might get away with them!

Correct, there is a phrase 'semi-literate'.
'preliterate' is another phrase, it has a different meaning.
'might' is a very big word, not one to base one's future on. |

You obviously chose the right terminology there, johnnyk - as was just proved. _________________ "The question is not, can they reason? Nor, can they talk? But, can they suffer?" - Jeremy Bentham, philosopher, 1748-1832
