Unable to login or recover old hotmail address linked with Xbox Live profile

09. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail · Tags: Account, Battle, Hotmail Account, Hotmail email, information, NET, Windows, Windows Live ID, Xbox, Xbox Live Gamertag
What is Happening:

Old Hotmail Email Address (That has been hacked) is still linked to my Xbox Live Gamertag / Profile.
The information on the old Hotmail Account has been changed. (Secret Q&A , Alternate Email) and i am unsure of what else he was capable of changing

What i have tried:
I have tried going through the Hotmail Recovery found at https://account.live.com/acsr/ but i have been rejected. It has been a while since I used that account to be honest the only important things I used it for was my Battle.NET account and Xbox Live (Battle.NET i got switched over thanks to Blizzard Customer Support) And i failed to think of Xbox Live Account because it was already a profile on my Xbox and i have had no need to recover it.

I have supplied the credit card info that it asks for and i still get rejected?


I have tried going on my Xbox and changing the Windows Live ID from there but it asks me for a password on the previously used Windows ID. (don't have it as the hacker changed it)

What I want to Accomplish:
I am hoping to get my Xbox Live Gamertag / Profile switched over to my new Hotmail Email Address. Reasons being i want to make sure i can still have all my paid for content, and this is a First Gen Xbox 360 so it is ready to crater at any given moment.

Is there any way i can change it to a NON-HOTMAIL email address for my Xbox Live? Hotmail seems un-reliable to me and i would like to have everything on ONE email.


Additional:

I have made a few purchases on this Profile.. And it has my Battlefield Multiplayer ID linked to it..

12Months Gold
2000 Points (purchased 2-3 Weeks ago)

Would hate to lose the money i have put into the account. 


Will be checking back here quite often so if i have not made sense somewhere or you need more information, please let me know!
Looking forward to your replies.. Thanks in advance!!

Account hijacked, changing passwd doesn’t help

08. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: Account, link, messenger, passwd, password, Windows Live Messenger
Hello there!

I've stopped using windows live messenger for a while now, but someone called me and said that I've been sending her massive amounts of spam via Windows Live messenger.

So, I went over the usual steps:

I chacked wether I can log in  - I could
    There was someone logged in from "HOME-PC", whic is not the name of my PC, so I logged them out, but after a minute or so, theve come back and logged ME out. I tried again for a few times with similar seults.

I examined my live account for
aliases
forward emai addresses
conact email addresses
unauthorized skydrive devices
linked accounts - I wonder if I can see wther I have a parent account(s) attached, if not, that may be a way someone is controlling mine

I found these to be in order, as in, none was changed from what I remember and I'm completely certain that I have full control over the email address I used there.

I changed my password, but even seconds after that, when I singed in and logged out the other user, it came bacck immediately. I double checked the things abouve, but still found nothing unexpected, changed the password again, but with similar results.
It's as if the "hacker" managed to dodge entering my password.

I also tried to close my account after this, but received the "temporary problems" error when clicking on the close account link (from the appropriate menu on my account page). Then, searching these forums, I found another link, (posted by several moderators) tried that, and it seems to have worked, but when I checked from my sister's windows live messenger (and her account), I still showed up to be online and sending spam.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Best Regards,
B.F.

EDIT:
Of course, I use antivirus and firewall software, keep them up to date and scan for viruses frequently. In the past few years, my PC has been virus free.

Email blocked because of hacking, but code to unblock is being sent to an email I’ve never used and do not recognize.

08. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail · Tags: Account, code, email, hotmail, Someone
My email is blocked because someone hacked into my account to spam everyone.  But when I go through the steps to get access again the email the code is being sent to is invalid and I've never used any other email other than the hotmail one that is blocked.  How can I get access to my account again when I can't get the code?

Hotmail hacked and now blocked and I can’t access the security code- how do I get my account back?!

08. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail · Tags: Account, address, email, hotmail, phone, security code
My hotmail was hacked, so it was automatically blocked. Hotmail has automatically sent a security code to an old email address I used to have that has now expired. I tried to get the code sent to my mobile phone but my phone number has changed since I registered with hotmail, and it says the number needs to be matching. How can I get my account back?!
