A fraudster who conned banks out of £1.6million with fake credit cards has been jailed for five years.
Eamon Zada, 27, went on spending sprees with the stolen cash, racking up a £140,000 nightclub bill and buying the world's most expensive phone for £4,900.
When police raided his flat, the conman threw hundreds of credit cards out of his window. But he told detectives: "I've had enough" and admitted his role in the fraud.

Why can't we deport people like this?

A worryingly high number of credit card fraud and identity fraud is committed by people entering the country legally and illegally, with the sole intent to commit crimes here. Increasing amounts of electronic fraud is being perpetrated on the hard working, law abiding citizen. This is beginning to happen on too large and too frequent a scale.
People only have so much patience. They will not let their lives be disrupted and destroyed by these people for much longer. Effective curbs and determination to cut down on these frauds to safeguard people's lives and livelihoods needs to get into gear NOW. The public are being hammered on too many fronts. Anarchy is what happens when people are pushed too hard and things get out of hand.
