One good thing, I got my new card, with my brewery pic on it.:mug:

So no updates from AHS in a few days? Whats going on Forrest?

I am curious if they ever found out what happened??

I am needing to place a order but honestly hesitant to do so if they haven't found and fixed the problem.
 
I would use PayPal if I were you. I just got back my $704 that was stolen last week.

Use Paypal. I used paypal to buy a wine kit for SWMBO and I haven't had any issues.
 
My fav part is the fact that he used pinking shears to cut the tape that blocks off the vital info on the card. Cute and crafty! What's next, maybe crocheting some tissue box covers?

:p

wtf are pinking shears?

Ahem. I know these things because I am a well-rounded individual with far-ranging interests.

That, and I am a chick.
:D
 
I dont think he actully used the pinking shears (learn something new every day) to cut the tape, alot of athletic type tapes come with the edges like that. I know when I was a kid I had one of my brothers hand me down hockey sticks that had that type of tape on the handle. But who knows... :mug:

I'm not really that handy, it's just waterproof medical tape that I colored with a sharpie.

Hey WildWest - I need to borrow that photo- not of your card, of your brewery - no one will know it isn't my brewery on my new card...

and hey, if we all did it, we'd be spreading the love for yours, and advertising home brewing....
 
i had my number stolen after i placed an order for some beer. got a couple calls so i called my bank and told them,they cancelled my card right there and sent me a form to fill out saying that i didnt order anything from a certain website and they cleared it off my account. i think it was only on there for 2 weeks.no hassle or bs

Go for it. Plenty of pics in my build thread. If you make a t-shirt, I want one.:)

I contacted AHS and asked if they would grant me free shipping on my next order as compensation for my troubles. They dodged the issue and the result in the end was a no. Heck, they arent even claiming full responsibility yet despite all that has occurred.

Piss poor service. Someone needs to instruct Customer Service 101 with the owner. Pathetic
 
So you have proof that they are fully responsible?

And you do get free shipping on orders over $100 ;)

Proof like in court of law and affidavits? No, but considering I only use that card for online purchases and havent made one with it in 4 months prior (coupled with the victims on this boards), its a reasonable assumption that the leak came from AHS. Take that :p

And Ive also determined that BC here in the Valley is very expensive compared to other LHBS :(

Oh don't get me wrong - the connection is to AHS. I'm just saying that it has yet to be revealed where in the process the hackers got in.....It may have been then CC processing server they use...

Have you checked out What Ale's Ya over in Glendale? I haven't shopped there in awhile; but Chuck and crew are good guys...

Agreed, I undoubtedly think that the weak link is in the CC processor. But from a customer's standpoint, the retailer and processor are one in the same

No, I havent checked out WAY yet. I work in the west valley and need to make a point on checking them out. Heard from this board nothing but good things about them
 
Anybody gotten any updates from AHS about whether or not they've resolved this issue? I'd like to buy without having to worry about someone buying a plane ticket out of Boogerglob, Bulgaria on my dime...:D

Pretty sure the crooks are hit and run types. Chances are AHS is safer than it has ever been.

I had all my false charges reversed and didn't end up being out a single dime.
 
I just ordered again with my AMEX. I am not worried.
