I would just like to say I visited their website and I now have herpes and I'm missing my nose hairs. My cards are still good.

And it could be some jackass that just happened to figure out a way to intercept transactions to AHS that has nothing to do with them, their bank, their customers, their servers, or this site...
Who is Walker?
IIRC, there was an ~$11 charge on mine followed by two charges between $250-$350. They told me to keep an eye on my account for the $11 charge (I assume because it was the first). In a way it makes sense, make sure the card works before trying to make bigger purchases but on the other hand, it just makes it that much more likely the card won't work when they make the bigger purchase.Did anybody else that had a number stolen have one small charge right before they went on a spending spree? The last time this happened to me it was caused by the Circuit City's web site getting hacked and before those people used the card they would order a song off of Itunes to see if it was a good number before they bought more stuff. They also tried to buy plane tickets but in China.

Apparently a single dollar charge from some random vendor name in MS activated the fraud system. I make tons of purchases on that card every week and a single dollar charge triggered it? I'm wondering if there's something about how the transaction is processed that triggers it.

Walker thats a lot of pizza those fools got for free.
do, these guys actually transpose your info into a new card that they swipe or just give the card number over the phone?

Also... people keep saying "a couple weeks ago" or something similar. What day did all of you shop there? I'd be curious if it turned out it was all people who shopped on the site the same day. Maybe someone walked in and made off with a handful of receipts one day last month?
My card was compromised about a week ago. I made an order from Midwest Supplies, PayPal (brewing related vendors x2), and Drs Foster and Smith, just prior to the nefarious charges. No AHS. Bank of America alerted me of some activity that originated in Zimbabwe to the Fitzgerald hotel or motel or something close to that.Curious. Has anyone on here who had their card number used in the last few days NOT shopped at AHS within the last month?
Ok. So there's one person who's been hit who didn't order from AHS. As someone said, it could be something else and people on here just shop at AHS a lot. Asking how many people here shop for brew stuff online is like asking how many people on an island eat seafood...
Anyone else get hit who did NOT shop at AHS recently?
Randomly stumbled on to the thread, read the 13 pages...add me to the list. I ordered from AHS Jan 31st, got an early email alert from Chase on Feb 8th about suspicious charges (Reg-Repair. com??). Like everyone else has said, I'm not blaming AHS and will still order from them, but this does seem like a lot of people over the same period of time. Card is cancelled, no biggie, but interested to see what happens...Anyway back to brewing my AHS sweet stout...
One time, I triggered the fraud alert myself by buying a pack of altoids at Walgreens before taking off on a road trip, and then a bottle of soda a hundred or two miles down. Those two little charges triggered a lock down and I had to call the CC Company to get it lifted.
