    My account was stolen. How can I retrieve this?


    So here’s the thing everyone. I’m

    Not a gamer! I had a Microsoft account and linked it to my sons Xbox. My son stupidly shared my account info with another gamer. I have tried countless times to recover my account. This kid changed every bit of information that was mine in this account. Microsoft automated message says I didn’t provide enough information to get my account back. This is beyond frustrating. I had to create a new account just so I could request a call from Xbox…which she sent me a huge list of things I had to put in writing and send it securely. Half of the things they want I don’t even know. Like when I opened the acct etc… I have never on my life had such a hard time retrieving something that was originally mine in the first place. I’ve tried to find this kid. I’ve sent him emails to the email he put on my account pleading with him to let us have it back. My son doesn’t remember his gamer tag cause he changes it often. Big red flag there!! Does anyone else have any advice? Please. I’m not sure if this kid will have access to my movie apps my son had in his account. Whether they’d be logged in on this kids Xbox while he’s in his account. I just don’t understand why these kids do this. Please help

    My account was stolen. How can I retrieve this?

    Hi Jodie Jacobs,

    Welcome to Xbox Community Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.



    We understand the inconvenience caused. We will be glad to assist you with this.



    First, we would suggest you fill up the ACSR form and make sure you provide an alternate email address when you fill up the ACSR form so that the team can communicate with you. Help with the Microsoft account recovery form

    The more information you can include in the form, the better the chance you’ll have of regaining access to your account. Answer as many questions as you can as thoroughly as possible. If you’re not sure, guessing is ok - wrong answers don’t count against you.



    When you enter your email address, keep in mind that some domains may be country specific such as @outlook.co.uk. If you’ve had your account for several years, the details on file may not match your current situation, so think about what you may have entered when you first signed up. Is it possible that you moved or changed your name? Think about passwords that you use on other accounts that you may have used here. This is another place where a good guess can pay off. When you get to a question that lets you “add more," fill in as much information as you are able. Email subject lines need to be exact.



    We highly recommend you visit these articles:

    How to recover a hacked or compromised Microsoft account

    When you can't sign in to your Microsoft account



    With regards to the Microsoft Store purchase, we would recommend you contact our Microsoft Store support team and inform them about the purchase. Here is the link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/28808/microsoft-store-contact-support



    Also refer this article: Prevent unauthorized purchases from Microsoft Store



    If you have other concerns, you can create a new post here. Create a new question or start a discussion (microsoft.com)



    We wish you a good day!



    Sincerely,

    Harddrive stolen.. can it be retrieved?

    If they mannaged to gain access onto the account. It will notify you that someone has gained access onto your account. If that's happened. Follow the advice I gave to you

    Harddrive stolen.. can it be retrieved?

    THANK YOU SunkNath. Unfortunately, it looks like there are no suspicious IP addresses in the history (so far, anyway). And, since I have changed the password now, it means even if they try to use it, they won't be able to, right? So, we may not be able
    to get their IP. Looks like the hard drive is lost forever. It's really sad there are so many crooks out there. Someone just waltzed into the house, acted like a trustworthy person, and while no one was looking, stole the hard drive out of the xbox. Who
    knows what else they took.

    Harddrive stolen.. can it be retrieved?

    Hey there, I think the player may be onto something, and you have missed it.

    Now, before you all gang up on me. You are right about getting the Police Involved.

    Now, with my Xbox, it stored my Gamertag on the Hard Drive. Meaning, if someone has stolen the Hard Drive. They have access to his account. Meaning when or if they sign in. The IP address is obtained. You can see the IP address through
    https://account.live.com and click onto Recent Activity.

    What you could also do is, head over to
    https://account.live.com
    and change your Password for the account

    You will also be able to head to this link:
    live.xbox.com/.../Protection


    From here you will be able to see if the user has signed into your account. And you can sst it so they will have to download the profile again

    I hope this helps you
