yep, that’s right, you haven’t heard from me because

HSN lost my entire identity! my account, fav’s, scores, posts, reviews, the whole nine yards

just adding insult to “injury” as if I haven’t gone thru enough *Joy * this Christmas!

so I created heygise427 for now

don’t forget about me, I miss you all & thank everyone for such an overwhelming outpour of support :heart::heart::heart:

Just to be clear,

my HSN identity was lost, by an HSN CS rep. not stolen.

From what I understand, there were 2 accounts with my same email address and password.

One in lower case, which is what I always use, and the other in UPPER CASE that was created a few years ago for a one time purchase using the guest account feature during checkout.

So,

when this rep decided to merge the accounts he merged the current “gise___” lower case into the one time used “GISE ___” UPPER CASE when it should’ve been the other way around.

On top of that, he then created a new account # for me, that naturally, changed my status to a “new customer” beginning Dec. 29th 2016 thereby deleting all the info associated with my old account #.

@gise427 disappeared into cyber space never to return.

I lost my username, password, nickname (gise427), avatar, rank, favorites, 325,000 in Arcade tickets, access to prior posts, reviews, and all my profile info including payment methods, tracking returns, spendable Ka$h, my contact phone # etc. BUT, (and I did have my hopes)

the only thing that didn’t go away was my 4 year order history and flex pays! OH, DARN !

Now then people,

FYI, as a “new customer”, just days old, (with a 4 year buying history and current debt ) –LOL – there are, *ahem* , some restrictions.

One, a biggie, is a $$ limit or cap as to how many open flexpays one can have.

Hmmmm, guess what?

I was over my limit, *choke*, WAY WAY WAY over my limit!

The buying power for a new customer is significantly lower (by thousands of $$), and is not considered for a $500 increase before a 6 month waiting period.

Then, if all goes well, and you are a good girl, there’s a $500 increase in 3 months and another $500 3 months after that, at which point, if you survive 1 whole year, your spending power doubles.

Now, should you make it through 2 years, which I did, your spending power increases to $5,000 and as long as you keep on going it keeps on going too!

I don’t presume to know where any of you $ fit $ into this scheme of things, but I’d be willing to bet a few Heidi girls, Jay King fans, Jean Dousset lusterers, “who’s that blonde guy” newbies, to name a few, that could relate to having one’s flexpay options come to a screeching HALT and and and your status, “new customer”, is unfortunately “over your limit ” !!!!!!

There, you have it.

I believe there are certain “protocols” for re – instating Arcade tickets to my new .

Other than that, just hoping my “over limit” flex pay restrictions can be overridden ’cause

IT’S FUN HERE is no fun without flexpay! I mean really? Who buys without flexpay for heaven’s sake!!!!

and Pamlou, I believe Gise was not a victim of identity theft. It was only here on HSN through some computer glitch that her accounts have “poofed”. Thank goodness!!:smileysurprised:

So sorry that this had to happen to you, I hope that others are not going to fall victim to this and us not know about it??? I hope they resolve this and I will be checking my account more closely as we all should be.. Again, I hope they compensate you for all of this..

I’m so sorry to hear that! I know what a pain it can be because a family member stole my identity a couple of years ago and I had to go through a lot of red tape to fix that. Love your milk carton 🙂 Glad you didn’t drop the community boards because I always look for your posts.

If I buy anything through Visa Checkout, I disappear! The first time this happened, I freaked. After checkout, I went to play a game in the Arcade, and I was asked to create a nickname in order to save my points. I had to close all my browsers, bring them up again, sign out of HSN and then sign back in before catrheaper would magically reappear. Happens everytime I use Visa Checkout.

GOODNESS! Do you have a target painted on your bod? I am so sorry this happened AGAIN.

I hope you get gise427 back.

I lost my whole community identity eons ago 2010 (chuckle ) it was when they redone the boards and closed it for several months . When the community came back some of us lost our profile.

I had to change my name and for several years

I did not post very often after that. I had to begin all over as a new poster. I really just stared posting again in volume last year.

, Thank you ‘SHA’ (that is a word in cajun french, which means sweet one, darlin). It will get better. Just so blessed the security company caught those scums!
