Arrrrrh I have been so stupid today - Warning!

No card today I'm afraid.  I was all ready to make one tonight but when I went to log in to my Hotmail account this eveningI couldn't gain access.

I received an email from Hotmail this morning (or so I stupidly thought) saying that they would delete my hotmail account within the next 48 hours unless I verified my account by giving my account details which I did including my password.  My password has now been changed, the answer to my security question has been changed and I am unable to change my password as the email address to reset it is not my own. 

I have spent all evening changing all my banking passwords but am still worried about all the sensitive information still on my Hotmail account- I wasn't very good at deleting emails.

Please be warned and ignore any messages received like this.  I have received emails like this for bank details but have ignored them but didn't realise how much senstive information is stored in my email account.

  5. Hi Sweetie. I do hope you get everything sorted. I have know lots of people have trouble with Hotmail. My friend change her broadband supplier a couple of years ago because of that. They got into her email list and I am still getting spoof emails from her old address.
