credit card redaction

by firstmatemari . Updated 16 years, 1 month ago

Is it possible for a fraudster to re-create all 16 digits of a VISA/Mastercard or 15 digits of an Amex if he finds a printed customer receipt which displays only the first 6 digits and the last 4 digits of the account number? (the only identifying info is the name of the person and whether it is a VISA/MASTERCARD.) Can he commit fraud without the correct zip code/expir date or 3 digit code if required? I know what the law is- I just want to know if credit card fraud is possible from that info and what you base your answer on.
