You are misinterpreting the word "scheme." Scheme is not a pejorative in British usage, in American usage, yes it is.

Farang not flang, though you might be one of those as well......😉

Yeah I figured as much.

Contact your embassy, perhaps someone has alerted them.

This brings up a good point: we all should have a removable label on the back cover, giving our contact information to those who are willing to return it for free or as a REWARD. I have this on my phone as well. I used to have it on my keys. More often than not most people would try to return things if they were given a way. Yes, inside the passport has this, but I move so much it changes often. email is my go to.

Did you not know the USA is the center of the universe?.....according to many Americans.

..."who keeps tabs on your stay?"...hmm......Immigration?

I disagree but try if you want. You are committing fraud when you do and if caught the authorities have every right to deport you and ban you given you show no respect for their laws. Let me guess, you expect visitors in your home country to follow the rules, right?
