I believe that a contact's account may have been hacked, and their address book details copied and stored.
I've had my computer scanned - several times - no malware. I've also changed my Hotmail password - several times. They keep coming.
Header information in the e-mails happily discloses the site(s) from which the e-mails are emanating, and that the Microsoft server recognises that they're not from my account (identity alignment result is fail). Why are they still hitting my (and anyone's) Inbox - and how do I stop them?
This to inform you that i received an email serveral time asking me for my account details pass word ect...... they aretelling that they are from hotmail office...below is their email ( *** Email address is removed for privacy ***)
Please check the issue and let me know with thanks.
Sincerely
Djibo Abdoul Rahmane

*** Email address is removed for privacy ***
followed with codes sent to my mobile instructing me to enter an ID code on the link to verify details & ensure my account will continue to be in service- link:
I did open a link, panicing about the possibility of the service being stopped, now I'm worried I'm being scamed......I've just received a phone call at home saying they were calling from the worldwide internet regarding an error message I received as soon as I replied OK they hung up.......what's going on?
Should I be worried? am I being targeted or hacked......what do I need to do to prevent it happening? or check it hasn't happened.
