Very recently a vendor in Canada asked that I provide him with this
three digit number from my Visa card. Upon checking with the Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce [one of Canada's major banks] I was told that
such request should be rejected outright because it had nothing to do
with the integrity of the card number or the creditworthiness of the
account.
