I don't really know how you're going to do that. Sure, there's a handful of test numbers that I know off the top of my head (4111111111111111 for instance) but anyone who has any understanding of the algorithm can make up any number they like. Heck, a couple years ago I created an Excel file that would generate as many fake credit card numbers you wanted. (We needed a bunch of unique invalid numbers that would pass the Luhn test.)

Actually, this client's site is setup to not authorize the orders online. They prefer to manually authorize them. Once they ship the number to the authorizer, it gets rejected (so Authorize.net or whomever are doing their job). But because they don't want the authorization to happen online, the credit card number passes the LUHN check and gets passed on for processing. They'd like to catch these bogus orders before they get passed on. Again, thanks. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 942-5378 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Carabetta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 12:44 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Catching bogus credit card numbers > > > On 4/17/06, Mosh Teitelbaum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > All: > > > > Does anyone have or know of a list of bogus credit card numbers > that pass > > the LUHN test?
