Hi Everyone,
I had a strange experience with AIM Surplus over the last 24 hours. I placed an online order with them on the morning of 8/26, never received a confirmation email as is customary with most online sales and there is no processing queue with my bank. Again, usually there is a pending transaction on the account immediately, but there is nothing. Their website shows a pending transaction with order number. I am NOT saying that AIM is shady or selling CC info., so don't think I am bad mouthing them or anything, I'm not. I find it unusual that there is no pending transaction from them... and then...
My bank account was cleaned out this morning, I mean everything gone and overdraft coverage almost maxed. Luckily its my personal account and not the family account that we pay bills out of. My bank called me and they are good about fraud protection so that's not an issue. I don't place online orders very often and this is the most recent one so it MIGHT be related.
Just wanted to let everyone know that the AIM Surplus website MIGHT be compromised for now and to maybe hold off on any orders you might be planning. I repeat, I am NOT saying that AIM is shady or selling CC info. I have emailed their sales team and can post updates if anyone is interested.
Be Safe and Happy Shooting!!

April of this year, I received a letter from AIM stating that their site was hacked. The company seems actively engaged in correcting problems. Give them a call, they may help you directly by way of providing credit monitoring (which they did in the earlier breach) or possibly some other service.
Good luck!

Crazy. I always use the virtual card numbers now. You can generate them online if you have BOA.

Crazy. I always use the virtual card numbers now. You can generate them online if you have BOA. I do the exact same thing. Use one time credit card numbers issued from BOA website. All you do is log into BOA and input how much the charge will be and you'll get a one time card number good for a tad over the expected charge.
