Hotmail hijack

Feb 27, 2010 4:01AM PST

My hotmail account has been hijacked and now someone is sending money request hotmails with my name attached to it to all my contacts and god knows who else. I have to cancel my hotmail account obviously, but Desperately need my contacts and all of my stored messages. How do I go about doing this?

You will need to contact Hotmail about this

See if they will reset your password, then you can get access again and save those contacts and emails.
