This sucks. I really like Nashbar and have been buying from them for years but, it appears that Nashbar has some security problems at their website. I recently experieced some credit card fraud and after a little research I found that I am not alone. The credit card was used recently at Nashbar and no where else. Beware when using your credit cards at NashBar and check your statements for unautorized charges.

Months ago one of my credit cards was hacked at I-Tunes. CC co. caught it and called me; glad they were on the ball like that. (Charges were relatively small, so something else must have alerted them.)

Hmm. I experienced the exact same thing. CC co. closed out the account and sent me a new card.

Yup, same here. PITA with a few "auto pay" arrangements, but in the end no harm.

Not just Nashbar. I use "tagged" e-mail addresses, and the address I gave to Performance Bikes has been used in scams that I received (e.g., faked mail from the FBI about my ATM card).

However, the address I gave to Nashbar has not (yet?) been abused. Moreover, Nashbar accepted a form of tagging that Performance does not accept (+detail; many websites are broken and do not accept "+" in e-mail addresses even though it is perfectly valid); hmm, maybe that's why only the Performance address was abused.

If you do a Google Search on "nashbar credit card fraud" you will find that lots of people have complained to the company and have been given little hope that the problem is going to be resolved.
Thanks for letting me know who used my credit card without my permission. A couple months ago MasterCard called me and said they had a suspicious charge on my card. It was $1080 worth of airline tickets. More was attempted, but those charges were refused. My card was cancelled and a new one was issued. I never lost any money, in fact I never received a bill for those fraudulent charges. I had made some purchases from Nashbar a few weeks before this. That's the last I'll be buying from Nashbar. Too bad because they have good equipment at decent prices.
