>Do amazon really even validate the address to the card owner? I've sent stuff to different locations in different names using the same card. For initial orders, yes. Amazon has a very advanced fraud detection system that builds up trust with your account over a while. Amazon is very difficult to card. >I've heard poker and gaming sites are popular to extract funds (and simultaneously launder them), don't expect them to have much security no. All of those will require you to pass VBV. You will not get the information necessary to pass VBV without phishing.

Doubt it, maybe for US residents? When I did my first purchase my address didn't match because I was officially living at my parents but sent the package to my own address. You make it sound like this is difficult or rare, yet banks have a very lax attitude about this and consequently funds thieves with billions upon billions every year. Somehow it is worth it, relying on the victims to scan their transaction history for errors (talk about convenient!).
