Wrong. When a vendor account is setup to accept credit card charges, it is up to the vendor wether or not to enable address verification. If they do not, they run the risk of getting their account flagged if too many cardholders report fraudulent charges. Apparently Obama is not worried about this, which is understandable since the vendor account only had to last as long as his campaign.
Check this out: I just made a $10 donation to Obama's campaign from the barackobama.com website with my own VISA card, but a totally bogus name, address and phone number. My identity for this donation was from a person named "Notta Realperson", from 10 Fantasy Road in Fraudsville, NY.
THE TRANSACTION WENT THROUGH!
Obama's website does NOT verify credit card charges!
This website documents other examples of this.
Don't believe me? Try it yourself.
