it's a paypal phishing webpage.

anyway. there's a logarithm that will determine if the credit card number is correct.. see if you can make one up that follows these rules

-you have to start from the right, and work back.
-every second digit starting with the right most (check digit)
-will be doubled, and summed with the skipped digits.
-if the double digit is > 9, add those individual digits together -if the sum is divisible by 10 mod10 succeeds

(those rules are also comments in the source code, so if you want to see what it looks like, when you get to the place where you put your credit card in, press CTRL + U (mozilla) or View > Source)

Good Luck!

That's really primitve method of checking validity of credit cards. Now, with the internet you can just contact the Visa CC server and authenticate the number along with date of issue, security code and billing address.

They teach you that alogirhtm in number theory 101 class in Chapter 0 as trivia on modular arithmetic.

Very very very common CC checking algorithm.
