Question asked on Aug 13, 2013

Last night I received an email from a reliable email which took me to a Window's screen asking me to verify my email.  Stupidly, I entered in my pw (the screen looked like the new Windows screen ).  I knew within sec.s I had been hacked as I started to get emails from friends asking if I had sent this particular email. 

 

I proceeded to send out to ALL my emails a "SPAM Hack Alert" telling all my friends to not answer the email sent by the hacker.  Once I did this I signed off.  When I went to go back on later last night I received a screen that read "Somebody may be using your account" and that I was to verify that I was whom I said I was.  I have tried various ways to verify myself and still I can't get into my account.  I am frustrated, and sick to my stomach that I could loose my files.  I have a year's of files from my husband while he was away in Afghanistan that I could potentially loose.

 

I really need help as I am not super computer savy.  I have had this account for years and never changed my pw.  We have moved around over 3 times in the last 10 years I am not sure anymore some of the information the computer is asking me as it was so long ago since I set up the account.

 

Is there anyway I can get a person on the line to help me through this as I feel I am going around in circles.
