It's all about the security code on back of card:

Claim: Obama campaign website accepted real donation from fake ‘Osama bin Laden’ 2:44 AM 10/30/2012
A Jerusalem journalist writing for a conservative website reported Monday night that he was able to make two small financial contributions to President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign in the name of the late terror mastermind Osama bin Laden.
Aaron Klein, writing for WorldNetDaily, said he successfully made campaign donations (http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/obama-accepts-osama-bin-laden-donations/) of $15 and $5 through a “proxy” service that masked his location and provided the Obama campaign website with a Pakistani Internet Protocol (IP) address instead.
The Obama campaign, Klein wrote, accepted and acknowledged both contributions, made with a disposable credit card, and followed up with additional fundraising emails to a Gmail account set up in the dead terrorist’s name.
“Thanks so much for your donation of $5.00,” read one such email. “Please take 10% off your next purchase of $10 or more at our online store.”
“You’re one of the campaign’s most committed supporters,” read another form-letter email signed by Michelle Obama. “Please make a donation of $19 or whatever you can today.”
Knowingly accepting political donations from non-U.S. citizens is a violation of federal law.

WorldNetDaily did not attempt to make similar donations to Gov. Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, but noted a recent New York Post report (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/bam_blind_eye_to_illegal_donors_8SWotytr1RvbhyDCRy yrEL) in which a British citizen was able to donate to Obama but not to Romney.
“When I did Romney’s, the payment got rejected on the grounds that the address on the card did not match the address that I entered,” the experimental donor told the Post. “Romney’s Web site wanted the code from the back of card. Barack Obama’s didn’t.”
