I rang my IT nephew and he is going to contact Windows to see what can be done. Luckily I dont do internet banking. I dont know if they have changed my password or if I might have changed it a few months ago and forgotten what I changed it to! Why do I have to have these senior moments? I should have cottoned on to the fact that they did not need to know those things. AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH! |

Change your password as quickly as you can, and hope that they haven't got there first and locked you out. |

I have that message several times saying if I dont verify the account will be cancelled. I think its a scam as i regularly use Hotmail. i deleted the message each time |

Is Windows Live sending out a letter to every hotmail email user saying they are shutting down some accounts and asking us to verify our username, password, d.o.b. and country? I have just done so and now wonder if it might have been a scam. What should I do? |
