Depending on what level of verification you want, you can do a minor check by running the normal credit-card checksum algorithm against the cards. Contact me for details of how this work. (Beware that it will not give you good security, but it will protect against typos and pranksters that don't know what they're doing. It will _not_ protect you against serious attempts at fraud.)
