So what's the deal?  If we'd processed the cards (and they turned out to
be stolen), wouldn't the transaction be denied?  He gave me the CRV
numbers, expiry dates and the name on the cards.  Doesn't this mean that
he's actually in possession of the cards?  Still and all, I am glad we
insisted on using Paypal to process this transaction.  There was
obviously something not quite right about the whole thing.
