The odds that this is a scam are around 99.9%, friend.  The card will pass OK
and you will ship the merchandise.  The owner of the card can wait months
before complaining that this was not an authorized sale.  When he does the
credit card processor will immediately withdraw the funds directly from your
bank and then send you a printed "chargeback" form.  You will have no way to
recover the funds since the products will already have left the country and
the "buyer" is almost certainly not the owner of the credit card.
