I was wondering how they could process those CC donations with phony names and addresses. Now we know. All it takes is a CC processor willing to open the door to fraud.

Imagine going to Amazon and paying for a downloaded book or movie using only your credit card number? Or using a goofy name and fictitious address and having the purchase go through? No, I can't either.

I am not sure that the phoney cc “donations” had silly names attached to them.

I think the following::
Student/Nobama supporter works at a restaurant, etc. You eat there-pay your bill by handing over a cc- waiter/waitress disappears into the cash register area with your cc- they are processing your dinner purchase, but they are also—writing down all the info on your card, including the 3 number special number on the reverse.
Then they get off work and go to the Nobama campaign location and process a $2300 “donation” to Nobama.
The credit card statement takes between 3 days or 6 weeks to arrive, depending on when their statement cycles. You are unaware of this phoney charge and attenpted fraud until you open your statement.
The bank must reverse the charge, since you were scammed.

I want to know how much of Nobama’s $150 million raised in September was created by the phoney $2300 charges to credit cards that never should have happened?????
