I'm betting it won't go through. The credit card authorization system checks for more than a valid number. That's why some legitimate cards get declined. The card holders may be late on payments or over limit, or may have closed the account.

I'm betting unless it happens to be an active account number in good standing, and the expiration date matches, it will be declined.
