This problem is back, as now Microsoft are trying to move people over to the new outlook and 'one Microsoft' concept for all accounts similar to google.

This time the hackers don't even send email, they seem to be creating pages which are not Microsoft, but look like the image above.user logs in and can't resets password, receive a code to mobile phone.

User goes back to login and cant so keeps trying and then tries to send the SMS to phone, but the page doesn't allow it as the hacker has changed the phone number.

Hotmail support said the email account had been compromised by someone in Mexico!!! No in my country!

Cheers and beware.

I have got one right now stating I have a virus in my files. Everything else conceptually is the same. Who can I send it to for handling?

Thanks,
Joanne.

I had a telephone call stating that my Hotmail account has been used by foreign countries. I was asked to go to my computer and follow their instructions in order to stop this happening.

When I refused to do this I was told that my computer would be closed down and locked so that I could not use it. I have not used my Hotmail email account for a long time and have forgotten my email address and password.
