A British female has been hacking American computers, chatting on retail sites, and posing as a man by the name of 'CarlosSW'. SHE has been reported and hopefully will soon be banned.

The one who posts on the HSN boards? What's up?

[mewsmomtoo]

That's funny, why would someone bother to do that? I check out the HSN boards occasionally b/c of the scrapbooking and I always thought it was a little strange that a man posted so much, actually it was A LOT for anyone to post.

6/24-just checked and the original CarlosSW hasn't posted since 6/21, but don't know if that means anything - could be vacation, family prob, sick. Still don't know why someone would bother or why it's an issue (we NEVER know who we are really talking to on these boards). I didn't see a thread over there discussing this but given how crazy-looking their boards are, I could have easily missed it.

Gingerpeachy1, you are often on the HSN boards - do you have any more details? Thanks.

The person going by that name on HSN forums has also been here a few times.

I don't get it; I guess I'm a bit late to the party, LOL. Can't any poster have any name that they want? Normally women don't choose men's names, but what's the harm? How do you know that it's a British woman, and has she done anything illegal to warrant her being banned?

Don't see the connection between hacking computers & shopping forums. :/

There is a CarlosSWl and a CarlosSW. CarlosSW posted way before CarlosSWl.
