This is also the problem with some "zero value postcodes", at least in Netherlands[1] – I'm not sure how that works in the US. People just manually fill in "1111 AA", "1234 AB", etc. and forms blindly accept that – it is a valid postcode after all. People have had their utilities disconnected, have debts ascribed to them, are unable to register for services, etc.
