Not my money

[August1991]

When looking at many buy/travel websites recently, the site often asked me how I'd pay.

The websites never asked whether I was using my own money - or even someone else's credit card.

The websites merely wanted to verify who I am - and whether my card was legitimate.

Imagine Putin or Trudeau Jnr or Biden. To pay for something, they can simply enter the name/credit card number of any other citizen.

Air Force One? To fly wherever he wants, Biden can use Bill Gates' credit card number. Amex won't question Biden.

Trudeau Jnr? He can use my BMO card. No verification required.
