  That day I recieve a call... from a credit card company say want to give me $8000 dollar worth of voucher etc... and give me a credit card for free... so that I have ready cash to spend....
  
  Sound very good leh... but should I accept it? Scare I become a slave of credit card... how? Would you want the freedom to spend ++ the vouchers? And have the risk of running into financial slavery?

  Most ppl who fall for scam, it's not really bcos they are stupid, it's mainly bcos they are greedy.
  
  Just remember "there is no free lunch in this world" as Ito said.

  I think it is free really lah... but the fact that they just want you to use their credit cards... its from amb bro bank... hmmm.. how they know my pay check sia... wonder.... anyway... The question here is being a slave to credit cards... I heard alot of stories of young people become bankrupt after credit card abuse...

  only poor ppl uses credit card...rich people use debit card or ATM card for nets payment plus checks for larger amount payment. credit card month end then deduct from your account. debit card on the spot deduct means u got money to spend. as for checks take a few days to clear but its for larger amount of cash transfer.
