RE: [OT] Virtual Credit Card Numbers

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxx>]

Only in so far as we would be presented with a card number, an expiry date
and a cvc code which would go through an EPOS terminal - unfortunately if a
retailer decides to check further (using the merchant services facilities
that they pay for to try to help prevent them being defrauded) then there
is
no way to tie the details to the address that is given.
