The DL I had on record with them expired since I originally sent it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So I placed my order the same day that AIM sent the letter. I was curious why my order hasn't shipped yet. I want to know if this letter has anything to do with my delayed order. Does anyone know if AIM destroys the DL info and C&R info if those documents expired? I know they had my C&R info, but I let it expire and I since moved. I am not a happy camper with AIM. They have made thousands from ARF and others. The DL I had on record with them expired since I originally sent it. Mine too,so old in fact that i no longer live at that address |

Got my letter today. Bought ammo from them a few times in 2014 after I got my CMP Garand.
Hated that they required ID, I think I even uploaded my CCW

Got my letter today. Yesterday my Chase account flagged two fraudulent charges and lock the card account. This may or may not be a coincidence, but first CC alert I've had. I understand stuff happens, but I've done a bunch or business with AIM in the past year or so and probably won't be back. When any business accepts payment they accept responsibility for securing their end of the transaction. Same with requiring the ID upload they required for ammo sales.

Glad I never have bought ammo from AIM, only parts.
Though I vowed long ago not to because of their other stupid requirement of having to be 21 to buy rifle ammo. |

My DL was current, but my C&R was outdated. Not super impressed right now, I buy a lot from them, I'm going to have to let this settle to see if that continues.

Got home from work and found my letter waiting for me.
What a stupid thing to happen. They never even needed to save the photos of anyone's drivers licenses anyways. Why didn't the just check a box on my account once they saw the photo and call it good. Stupid and annoying. |

AIM is good people though, and I completely understand their reasoning for requiring the DL photos. It's called CYA. You guys can be pissed all you want, but AIM didn't do this on purpose and you're just at risk with having info compromised at any other online retailer. I chalk it up to "shit happens". Good people step up and respond. That's what most of us love about AIM - they answer questions, they stand behind their products, and they are responsive and involved. Their lack of response to this thread is worst than their lackluster security practices. i am going to give them some benifit of the doubt here as this is very likely a criminal investigation now. |

When I was 20 I tried buying rifle ammo from them but they wouldn't sell it to me because their policy is 21 or older for rifle ammo sales, even with proof of ID. Never so much as looked at their website again.
Fuck them, I'm glad they wouldn't sell to me. |

Save some foil for me. I thought that also. Obama says looking into some new measures yesterday. Hacking for info, calling it "data mining". Creating distrust for online commerce, then increase the taxes on businesses that sell making ammo unaffordable. Won't take the guns, but makes them inoperable. Guns are the symbols of New Confederacy. Banned and removed without a whimper except for online sabre rattling. |

I think this is my fifth data breach. Woohoo!
I haven't gotten a letter yet, but I've definitely bought ammo from AIM starting a few years ago. Pretty retarded of them to retain pics of peoples ID's and to leave it on a web connected server. But, I really can't say I'm surprised that an online gun company has IT that is amateur hour level stuff. |

They paid way less than that because the company plans on keeping you after the year. This offer is the same as free trials that they offer it's going to cost aim next to nothing if anything at all. |
