I was sent an email saying that my account has been compromised. It is asking for my log in, password, birthdate, and country.

I have been told that the true Hotmail Team would not be asking for these items.

What email can I forward this hacker email to for security follow up?

I've logged into outlook.com with my old microsoft hotmail account. After this I received an email from the outlook.com team saying you could change your emailadres to @outlook.com and everything would go over to this account without problems, contacts, email, etc would all be going to the new account.

After doing this, my old @hotmail.com cannot be used to logon anymore, I have to use the outlook.com address.

 

Now when I do this in hotmail, everything seems te be fine.Even when I log into my Xbox, it shows the new account in the settings without even having to change anything. But when I do this on Messenger, the online list stays empty.

I see al the address offline in the list.

Other people do not see me coming online and I do not see them online. I've checked this also with my other account.

Will this take time, or is there a bug in the transfer from hotmail.com to outlook.com??

Here is the email I received from *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
