Lancaster and Credit cards
General Topic
Contributors to this thread:
Recently had a few incidents where someone tried to use my credit card for online purchases. I was notified and had my card locked, and it will be replaced. The other day I got a notice from Lancaster Archery saying that their system had been hacked. I had used it to order from them a month or so ago.
IF you have recently used your CC to buy from Lancaster online I suggest you monitor your card closely. If any unauthorized purchases show up call your card issuer and have it stopped.
Personally I wish these companies would start using Paypal, which is much more secure - they never even see your card number, the purchase payment simply registers. I'd even be willing to pay the difference.
Is there a paypal like company that is hunter and gun friendly? I don’t love giving money to PayPal but it is handy.
Lancaster has a paypal option, I used it last week. They're archery's worst online retailer for cc hacks.
Good to know, will go that route from now on.
Yup I remember this same thread a couple years ago about Lancaster.
Seems like a daily occurrence. About 5 years ago my Cabela's got hit - so all are susceptible.
The screwed me for 5k. Or my card did.
Church travel deal to Isreal. They tracked the the perp thru my card #. Texas grabbed the monkee.
I tracked it down and put the five O on them.
I know plenty guys who got hit buying on Lancaster.
Will only use PayPal with those folks. They really need to do something at Lancaster. It happens way to much with these folks.

I had the same problem last season. My CC company informed me of the problem and I called Lancaster. Did not get much from them except they were aware of the hack and working to correct it. CC company replaced my card, deleted bogus charges.
They got me too. I used my card in December at Lancaster and then my card got hacked. No expense to me but I had to get a new card. I got the letter from Lancaster yesterday. My card gets used a lot for business and I check the charges every day. I'm glad I caught it early.

#mee too. Year back or so. Got new cards with no financial loss just a pita.
Glad I saw this thread. I have ordered a few times from Lancaster and had good results, so figured on continuing with them, but will now look into rejoining Paypal. I had an account with them and had never used it, so deleted it about a year ago. I'll check out that option of using Paypal to order stuff from Lancaster. Sounds like the best option.
Thanks for the heads up. I have used Lancaster but not in a while.
So because this is Archery related... Lancaster.... But really about credit card fraud... This is ok? But a question about a rifle isn't?
Sorry about your troubles, I haven't had a problem with them. I just don't get the closed topics sometimes...
Thanks for the heads up, will look into paypal. Reestablishing credit card info is a PITA.
Yep, daughter got me a gift card from Lancaster for a B day present. Used it, but there was $1.97 over the GC value, so I put it on my CC. Ended up with $1600+ in charges from India. Got the letter yesterday. 3 weeks after the charges were put on my card
