My MSN email account has been hijacked.?

Someone is sending emails in my name to my contacts, to sell electrical goods. How do I stop this from happening and get my account back in my control? I'm happy to close my account if necessary to stop this from happening.

    If you can get into your msn email account, just change your password under settings. Had something similar happen to mine.

    When i changed my password, had no other problems.

    I recently helped a friend with this problem. Rather than trying to login to msn, login to your windows live email account, then change your password immediately.

    It's called a phishing scam. Have your friends send the e-mails from your address back to you, and notify MNN that's it a phishing scam and mark it off as spam. Change your password and other contact info if needed. If e-mails persist, you will have to shut down your account and create a new one.

    If you still have access to it, I mean, if you still can log in by using your password, just close it. You have another option of changing your profile info like zip code, city and state, plus the secret question and secret answer (which should be different from the question in order to fool "hackers", if possible).

    are you able to press expenditures? probable not. in the event that they stay interior the comparable jurisdiction as you, you're able to me able to circulate see a Justice of the Peace and get a warrant taken out, yet probable for any extreme expenditures (identity theft, laptop harassment, etc) you will possibly could get a cop to do it. in the event that they stay out of your state, that is going to alter into just about as plausible, as you will possibly could get the feds to convey expenditures. The term "press expenditures" is a stupid term and not precise. you won't be able to press expenditures. The state decides. in case you think of somebody's committed a criminal offense, call the police.
