My friend got this email and responded. Now she isn't getting any new emails even though she changed her password.

This problem is back, as now Microsoft are trying to move people over to the new outlook and 'one Microsoft' concept for all accounts similar to google.

This time the hackers don't even send email, they seem to be creating pages which are not Microsoft, but look like the image above.user logs in and can't resets password, receive a code to mobile phone.

User goes back to login and cant so keeps trying and then tries to send the SMS to phone, but the page doesn't allow it as the hacker has changed the phone number.

Hotmail support said the email account had been compromised by someone in Mexico! No in my country!

Cheers and beware.

I had a telephone call stating that my Hotmail account has been used by foreign countries. I was asked to go to my computer and follow their instructions in order to stop this happening.

When I refused to do this I was told that my computer would be closed down and locked so that I could not use it. I have not used my Hotmail email account for a long time and have forgotten my email address and password.

This is one of the many telephone scams, that cyber-criminals are using to trick their potential victims into stealing their usernames, passwords, money, credit card and other sensitive information.

Microsoft, Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, Google and other online giants will never call you and ask you to install software, visit a website or instruct you to do something on your computer. If you receive calls like those, please take down the telephone number and report it to your telephone service provider and the police.
