is it possible to find out or trace the owner of a visa card with the last four digits of the card, who this person is?

I love stuff like this! I guess I’m kind of a number geek, so it makes sense that I’m super excited about this post. With my years of retail experience, the whole 4 = VISA, 5 = MasterCard and 6 = Discover were pretty obvious to me. But I didn’t know the checksum fact – awesome. I also never knew why our credit card machine always asked us to type in the last four digits, but it makes total sense when I think about how one might go about making a counterfeit card. Not that I would think about such things…

I knew about the first digit telling you who the card is from, but I didn’t realize there was a checksum digit at the end! So if someone gives me the first 15 digits of their card, I can figure out what the last one should be! Now if only I could also figure out their expiry date and cvs nuimber… lol

I’ve always wondered at the numbers on a Credit Card. They seemed so random. Thanks for breaking the secret!
