my e-mail is <removed by moderator>
Dear Microsoft Support,

As of a few days ago, I have lost access to my Hotmail account, [Removed by Moderator], due to it being blocked.  Even though there are 2 alternate email addresses linked to my Hotmail account, only one, [Removed by Moderator], an account which no longer exists, is an option to which the code can be sent.  At this point, how may I go about recovering this account?

I have been able to reset my password since then, as I was given the option to send the message in which I could do so to [Removed by Moderator] or [Removed by Moderator] (which is still existing), and I did so of course via the latter address.  Doing so, however, had no effect on recovering the blocked account.

Both addresses are of course tied to my Hotmail account.   Do you know what I may be able to do in order to get the code sent to [Removed by Moderator], and get this problem fixed?

Any help that can be given to help me recover my account [Removed by Moderator] would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Why are you seeing this?

Someone may have used your account to send out a lot of junk messages (or something else that violates the Windows Live Terms of Service). 

We're here to help you get your account back.


What do you need to do?


We'll walk you through a few steps to verify that you own the account, then have you change your password in case someone else has been accessing your account. It should only take a few minutes and then you'll be unblocked and on your way.

How do you want to receive your code?

Send email to [Removed by Moderator] (Only option)

Send code I already have a code

Hi,


I find my self in this position, and would appreciate it if someone could advise me how to get the code of my old account (removed by moderator) emailed to my temporary account (removed by moderator). I desperately need to get my old account back. Can the reply regarding this message be sent directly to my  temporary account (removed by moderator)?

Regards,

David

I just received a message from {Removed by moderator} requesting password info and saying that there is a virus and I need to update my account or it will be shut down.  Is this for real?
