    Recently, Feb 11th a hacker gained access to my email account, removed all of my security routines. I just discovered this last night (Feb20th) as I don't have time to play Xbox as much as I did. Now I've recovered my email, but he has stolen my Xbox and Microsoft account by changing the Email and information associated with it and is holding it at ransom for 200$. Now I have the accounts new name and associated email address plus the email from the hacker to confirm all of what I'm saying not to mention im willing to provide any further information that would help. But the Xbox Support site is not loading, and I need to talk with someone about recovering my account. Please reply swiftly, I've already wasted too much time by not noticing it soon enough, and I'd rather not give in and give him money for an account I hardly use.

    Thank you and i look forward to a response

    :)

    Hi The Eagle's Spawn's Spawn,

    There is not a phone number or email that we can provide at this time. Have you tried clearing your browser's cache and a different web browser?

    Edited to include:

    You can also try to fill out the Microsoft account recovery form. For security reasons, this method requires a lot of additional information about the account.

    Hey Drew,

    First thank you for your input and yes, I contacted the bank today and notified them of the situation. And I understand that it's a public forum and the best way to get support is through that link but every time I've had the "support" page open it does nothing but show the Xbox Icon spinning in circles. When I opened one the other night it was open for three hours and did nothing but spin? Is there not an email or phone line I could call instead? I rather be on hold at least because I know I'd get somewhere.

    Thanks,

    Hey Drew,

    Yes, I cleared the cache and tried a different browser including my phone. Nothing on that end works. I did try the Microsoft account recovery, and it worked almost immediately. I was able to set a new password and request the security info be changed but the process takes 30 days to complete, and he has changed all the security information associated with the account so he can immediately change the password back and remove the new security info. Any other ideas? Or is there someone you can connect me with otherwise that can help?

    Thanks again for all your help so far,



    Ps: I managed to contact support and they're working on it. Thank you for all of your help

    Hi The Eagle's Spawn's Spawn,

    Because this problem requires personal information and we are on a public forum, only direct support from a Microsoft or Xbox agent may be able to help resolve this issue. You can get in touch with an agent using "Contact Us" on the Xbox support website. More importantly, please make sure that any payment methods on the account have been changed and that your banking institutions are secured on their end by contacting your bank.

    Best regards,
    XBF Drew
