Bit slow, this was reported in 2006 http://www.hoax-slayer.com/card-security-code-scam.htmlHow would they already have your name, address, phone number, card numbers, but not the CVV code?
tl;dr - don't give your CVV to anyone that calls *you*.
How would Brian remind himself what his card number is, if he was giving the details over the phone to someone ?. In fact how does he read his CVV number even now ?. He'll be along to tell us shortly ...
SELL CVV fresh -fast Please contact me: snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com Y!M : dmcvvfull Hello, I'm a new seller, Im from vietnam. my cvv are the best for you I'm Seller for: CC, CVV US,UK,CA, EURO,AU, Italian,Japan,France,...all cc.
But the CVV proves that the card is in your possession. If you were to memorise it or -shock, horror- write it down, the whole security framework would crumble. Fortunately, criminals are far too honourable to even consider doing such a thing. Nick
Credit card company site? I was referring to why it is that CC companies *can't* automatically fill in the address for the supplier. so the point is moot then.
I think that'll be because amazon bear the risk themselves. i.e. they don't use CVV numbers to 'validate' cardholder not-present transactions like most retailers do.
A magnetic stripe card contains the card holder's name, the credit card number, the expiration date, and the credit verification value (CVV). Grab that information (which is childishly easy to do with magstrip cards) and the card can then be cloned and used ...
I thought they (and other traders) could process an order without a CVV but they had as a result to accept higher charges/higher risk of chargebacks from fraud. I can well believe Amazon do so given their aim is less immediate profit and more world domination.
only if the company supplying the goods don't need the pin or the CVV number - neither of which is encoded in the chip tim
