E mail Hijacked
My hotmail has been hijacked by scammers, who are now using it to send spam to everyone in my address book. How do u close a hotmail acc down, or is there any other way to stop this happening. Not fussed about losing the acc, to much bloody junk mail comes into it anyway. tried to get a response from hotmail HQ, but nothing yet!
Cheers

Am I missing something obvious ? How about just abandoning it and leaving it for dead ? I believe Hotmail do a regular spring cleaning, and any accounts that have not been logged into for X days get deleted.

Alternatively, if you had googled "close hotmail account", you would have found this three step process on the Microsoft site:
Account Closure - Hotmail Account

I had a similar problem (reported in full in another thread) but wondered
since it was sending inbounds to and could be accessed from my I phone
whether the scammer obtained my password from that link?
