Actually, I think that zip code is valid :) according to a quick Google search at least.

But I admit I hadn't thought about citizens living abroad; that makes it more understandable there would be these issues. It's certainly a case of (perhaps) incompetence over malice anyway.

Edit: my mistake, I missed that he claimed the zip was in Arkansas.



It's a valid zip, but not for the state of Arkansas. It says he entered "Arkansas, 12345", which is something that could be automatically caught.
