It may be just sheer coincidence, but after purchasing ammo online in the EE, I get a call from my bank four days later stating there has been fradulent activity on my account since then.  It's a card that I don't regulaly use, but have been using it this past week.  Caveat emptor.

I'm sure you don't want to say what vendor until you could be certain there is a tie to the fraudulent activity but can you at least say what state the vendor is out of?

You just never know where it will come from or when it will hit.

That was my thought exactly.  It is out of Indiana.

You might consider starting a thread in the Team Forum just to see if anyone else has the same problems after doing business with the same vendor. I have seen threads there end up validating that the problems arose from a particular vendor and also some that do the opposite.

Did you notify the vendor of the possible security leak?

Why the Team Forum and not here or the Ammo Forum? Not just Team members buy stuff from site vendors.

Edit to add: My first thought would be that someone may have hacked the vendors server and got info to scam.

Because the link between the fraudulent activity and this vendor has not been verified. There is no need to villify a vendor until that is known and the Team forum is a good place to find out if any others had the same problem.
