July 4,2012 I believe my account has been hacked!!!!!

I posted a question earlier, but now I cannot find it to see if it has been answered.  I have additional information to add.  I was able to get into my Hotmail account Monday.  I tried to get into my account Tuesday, but it told me I was using the wrong password.  I wasn't so I requested to change my password.  I received the link this morning and changed my password.  I signed into it and it was in ARABIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I checked my profile and it said I was in the United States (English).  I just recently heard from my mother that she had sent an email scam in my name that she had received yesterday morning.  It told her that I was stranded out of the country and needed $1500 to get my luggage and myself home.  I am at home.  This needs to be stopped NOW!!!
