Is it really sure
Line 7:
I am just dealing with a transaction that requires me to send my credit card number and CVV2 via fax. The fax machine on the other side may stand in a crowded office and even the cleaning staff may be able to reprint the received faxes in the evening. How can the CVV2 verify that someone holds the card physically if its eventually printed out on some random paper sheets in offices all over the world? --[[User:Markus Krötzsch|Markus Krötzsch]] 07:54, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

The value of this system of security may be disputed. Anybody who can look at the card or recive payment orders with this validation code can know its value. For this reason it can not be anymore consider that the only person who know the code is the legittate owner of the card after the card is used the first time (or even before that, if anybody can look at the card). Morover the value is also known by the credit card society. [[User:AnyFile|AnyFile]] 14:21, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
