I sent Bryan a text as well. Nothing is conclusive or definitive as everything still may in fact be coincidental, but just wanted to make sure that they’re aware.
Shoot… i do not mean to bash on Flannery… freakin’ loved the meat… i was just shocked someone had the same thing happen as me… (80 some cents from a restaurant in CA)… and I only made one purchase on BD. Looking at my statement, that’s the only ‘unusual’ purchase i made within about a 10 day window (the rest are common lunch spots near work, etc).
Mine was Flannery as well that same day. The fraud was from Ticketmaster for SB Music Festival $464 (super bowl or santa barbara music festival). I am still debating with the bank. I call immediately it appeared as approved, but not billed. Ticketmaster never responded me.
Not trying to bash Flannery and hoping it’s not them as I have purchased multiple times in the past with no issues and live their product, but based on the data points from this thread, there is zero reason to believe it’s not them or one of their partners…
Probably unrelated, but there was fraud on my card for the first time in a long time (or that I can remember) on 1/17/20 when someone tried to buy a little under $300 worth of goods at a place called Winter Kids Online. The only wine store related purchase I made anywhere around that time was at K&L (online) a few days prior.
I’m thinking it’s just coincidence, but I figured I’d share just in case there’s a trend.
I have had several cards scammed, most of the problems were gas purchases at stations on the road. One was at a restaurant where they take the card away to process. Solution for the gas station issue was to get a new card with the tap to pay feature, this seems to avoid the scimmers at the pump.
One of my purchases was Flannery as well. As several people have mentioned already contacting them, I won’t. I hope the guilty thieves get their due and feel bad for any small business trying to get by in an age of internet predators at every step.
My Chase card was compromised and used for $1 at a gas station in Decatur, GA on Sat. 2/1. Probably someone testing it out and Chase denied it and flagged it as fraud. I did not order from Flannery. Bought from several others on BD11 but it’s the card I used for most purchases not just wine.
