My Microsoft account email was changed after I was tricked into giving a password reset code through a Discord verification scam. My original email was <Mod remove PII> @gmail.com. Now when I try to sign in, it says the account doesn’t exist. The hacker changed the primary email to si*****@igloos.cc. I still have access to my original email and can verify ownership. I also have Minecraft purchase info and approximate account creation date. My xbox gamertag is <Mod remove PII>. Help please.
