anyone tested these numbers are they for real? i used one to apply to web credit card from one of the links there and it sort of worked, even the expiry date worked, but just need to find CCV number.

i was thingking if CCV number is only 3 digits, sure it should be possibe just to test and guess one?

any one have more info on this?

here is the link

huh?

It's just a way to test that your code is validating cc numbers to make sure they are being typed in correctly (before the charge is sent to the bank, all cc numbers follow a certain algorithm)
 
well you cant actually do anything with these numbers, they wont pass an actual check on them, i dont know why you guys are all freaking out on him 😱
 
Looks like the OP didn't (or can't) read the text on the top of the linked page.

Please Note: These are NOT valid numbers. You can?t buy anything with these. They are random numbers that happen to conform to the MOD 10 algorithm. They are a technical resource for programmers - that?s all.

Hmmmm, these would be good to post at those fake/scam online sites. "Oooooo... Vista Ultimate for $20, I'll order about 10 of those. Here is my CC# for you to bill me."

I did read it, but out of general curiosity tried to test it anyways. If these numbers are not linked to any real person and should be declined (as promised on the site) then I would not be breaking the law, right?

And then I thought, well if the long numbers are generated and any any expiry date will work on them, then surely there cant be only three digit CCV number left there to protect the identity of the card holder? This puzzled me.

There must be something else, I thought, and hence my question.

PS I apologise if it seemed that I wanted to use these numbers for illegal purposes, that was not the case, really! 🙂

What exactly are you trying to do?

With these numbers - nothing specific, but as to my question, I guess I will go and google some more on the protection/encription of these card numbers.

I think that the name of the card holder should be somehow coded into the CCV number rather than into long number.

But these are just more or less theoretical questions - something to busy oneself with on sunday.

This is why a lot of places only ship to addresses that are on file with your CC.
