It only proves that you have seen the card at some point. Useless. Steven Naslund Chicago ILI'm pretty sure the "entire point" of inventing CVV was to prove you physically have the card.
It's not useless, it protects against what it protects. Like dumpster-diving in the imprint days or if someone gets hold of all the credit card numbers + expirations (+ names, maybe) from your database. If you don't store CVVs (which is forbidden by contract) they won't have CVVs and sites which require them won't accept transactions. It's kind of like a PIN but yes too easily stolen. A friend used to write "ASK FOR PHOTO ID" in the signature portion of his credit cards and, I saw this, cashiers would look at it, look at his signature as if they were comparing, and say OK thank you! -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
