Post by dodgemy email address was stolen and my password changed the person is using my
contact list to ask for money. Is there anything I can do to get my address
back or have it deleted so they cant use it. And should I be worried about
them being able to access accounts.They did email me saying that they would
not give it back.I have no clue of how to handle this or whom I may contact
to fix it if it can be fixed
So we have here 2 users claiming some account is theirs with some
UNIDENTIFIED e-mail provider and thinking we other users here can do
anything about the administration of accounts at the UNIDENTIFIED e-mail
service. Looks more like wannabe hackers seeking advice on how to hack
since even a novice knows they should contact the e-mail provider regarding
account problems with that provider.
If you are asking about Hotmail account problems, those are tied to your

--- Posting Hints ---
ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here is
looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you don't
well explain your situation by providing the details that you already know,
don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing
environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem.
Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go on
(no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on
to the next post and never return to yours.

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface, like Microsoft's Communities or
Google Groups or a forum-to-Usenet proxy, those are gateways to Usenet.
Despite the appearance of a forum, you are participating in a newsgroup (aka
