Has anyone here here had any fraudulent charges on their credit cards since buying ammo online recently?
I have. I don't want to name any sites but, It sure is weird.
In the past month I've had to change account numbers with the  same credit card company...TWICE!
This is REALLY pissing me off.

If you have a high level of certainty you should out who you bought from to protect other buyers.

Have you contacted the vendor in question?  If they have a known issue they should be addressing it aggressively.

How's he going to have a high level of certainty??? Unless he's never used his CC for anthing but ammo purchases, at one vendor, EVER, and his card has never left his possession.. EVER....

Then saying who you think it might be is very unfair to a vendor who very likely has nothing to do with this at all.

If he's concerned, he should contact the vendors in question. Maybe they've had similiar issues.

its quite likely its not even the vendor, but their upstream merchant who got compromised.  I've seen that happen WAYYYYY too often.

I've seen this happen before, vendor denies problem for months then suddenly turns around and admits there is/was a problem.

Vendors still have a responsibility and obligation to make sure whoever is processing their transactions are protecting their customers.

I have not contacted any vendors yet.
I would like to see if anyone has experienced this recently so I can get some idea if there is a problem or an isolated incident.
