Hello Moderator,

For last 3 days i have been trying to work with Microsoft customer service to get access back for my hotmail account that has been hacked and is sending in appropriate messages to my contacts.

Please help, customer service has now pointed me to you and i really need to get this resolved so please please help.

The email that has been compromised is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

i have tried to reset the password but the the hacker has changed the alternate address to something i dont know and the security question. I have tried proving the security answers and its keeps telling me to try again after 24 hrs.....

please please help....

Regards
Vikram


i have tried from IE, Chrome, Firefox etc. I have tried clearing caches and it still doesnt work
All my contacts is blocked on the skype (I am using msn before) and I can't unblock them. I contacted skype, and they asked me to ask microsoft since the contacts belongs here. And then microsoft customer service asked me to post here. I have found an old post of similar issue, and they said we should do the following:
go to http://people.live.com/ , click on Manage, select Limited Access and remove the contacts from the limited access list.

But for my case, I did the same thing but there is no contact in my  Limited Access!

So I am not sure what to do next~~

Please help~
Hi,  I could not remember my original email accounts password after being overseas for 4 weeks.  Unfortunately my computers hard drive also had software issues which mean I needed to purchase a new computer which is a HP Envy 23 i7.  I have submitted several verification forms to try to access my Hotmail account, contacted the Microsoft Customer Service, gone to a link to do a two step verification and have now been sent an email informing me that I have attempted to many times to sign into me email and to create a new one. I have now created a new Hotmail account which has migrated through to Outlook.   I have not been able to access my old Hotmail for 8 weeks, which is a personal as well as a business email.  I have just now tried to call the Cusomer Service again to no avail!!! Can anyone sort this out for me.  I need to get into my old account!
every time i try it says "The information that you provided does not match our records. Please try again, or contact Microsoft Customer Service for assistance with your support request."
i also just choose something for the topics as i didnt know what to chose

I got a email from Microsoft Customer Service *** Email address is removed for privacy *** telling me VERIFY THIS EMAIL ADDRESS TO AVOID IMMEDIATE CLOSURE.  It will be easier if i just paste the email here,
