I got a letter Friday that looked like junk mail from AIM Inc. I almost tossed it but decided to open it. It said that they had been hacked and that the images of the driver's licenses of ammo buyers had been compromised.

The AIM Surplus site does not mention it and they did not send emails to buyers. I emailed them and they admitted that it was true and that they were offering 1 year free credit monitoring. That part was in the letter which is what made me think that it was a scam; there was no email address, only a phone number, and the return address on the envelope was PA and not OH.

It seems to be legit, but I'm not happy with the way AIM handled it.
