Just got hit for almost $5K from some tire place in FL after using the card for primers at Brownell's. They tried to run the charge multiple times and was declined the first time then I was contacted. This is the 2nd time this has happened after online purchases at Brownell's.

I never had a problem with Brownell's when I ordered from them. In fact, they were even very prompt with some refunds I was to receive.
I wonder if, perhaps, it may be some new employees or something trying to "game the system...."

Scary - thanks! Been ordering from Brownells for 10+ years haven't had a problem so far... 
Just ordered 2K primers there 8 days ago.. no issues.
I order form Brownell's all of the time. Three orders this month. No issues.
FYI... the number one way people are stealing CC info is at the Pay at the Pump. The add a scanner to the reader and pull tons of cards.
If you are really worried about it.... keep your CC maxed out all of the time. That way they can't steal form you and you get new gun stuff all of the time.

I've had three cards compromised in the past 10 years. Haven't lost a dime, yet. My CC company will freeze a charge in a heartbeat. A couple times I've had to resubmit payment for something I've ordered. Small price to pay.
Wait brownells has primers?! Thanks for the heads up
It happens from time to time, just unlucky. Last time was a mile high purchase, and someone tried buying a 90k painting in France 
Pay at the pumps or crack head skimmer waitresses at restaurants.

The only problem with that being, you get stuck with the "over the limit" transaction fees when they try it, unles you can prove it wasn't you.
Do you have a rfid blocking wallet? If not someone just walks close to you with a scanner and your card is stolen. Scammers are getting tricky and a lot of CC are stolen through hacks of small businesses who never knew they were hacked. Pinning it on your last purchase most likely just ruins the name of a good business, as it was probably stolen from a place you used months ago.
Just snagged a thousand large pistol primers. Thx for the tip!
Capital one has eno... You can create a temp CC# for each website with limited auth charge level.
When I do any online purchase, after the transaction clears, I go back into my/the account and delete my pay method/C.C. #.
So far, no issues. Mac

I don't have that issue. Sounds like you need a different CC.......
Maybe it was the primers I ordered from Brownells a couple of weeks ago, but my card company's fraud dept caught a $2200 order from thehomedepot.com last night that I did not place. My burner email account also blew up with spam yesterday...
