Now I understand why PayPal lets scammers register with an address that reads "asd, asdf,asdff, Turkey" and immediately allow somebody with that address to send me funds. (Ultimately stealing/using the credits they purchased instantly from my site with the fake paypal account setup on a stolen credit card)

Without a current streetmap of the entire world, how would you really know it's a bogus address?
