I'm pretty sure the "entire point" of inventing CVV was to prove you physically have the card.
Except that it doesn't serve that purpose. Anyone who ever had your card in their hands (e.g. waiters) can just write that down and use it later hence defeating the purpose of "physically having the card". (Call me paranoid but I usually use a black pen to make the numbers undreadable because of this, after my card (both sides) has been photocopied a number of times...) This has always been an amusing topic. At the end of the day it's a financial risk management call from the banks -- as long as they lose less money on the current system than the cost of fraud, things wiull not change. Of course, they try to push those costs onto others as much as possible, but that doesn't change the bottom line. Robert
