Somebody has hacked into my account and have written and sent explicit emails to just a few contacts in my address book, using details (like where I live) from my sent box (I think). This really is a malicious attack which has caused some problems.
Also, my banking details and a range of personal details and passwords are in the inbox.
Very worried! I have found a report abuse form for those with @gmail.com suffixes but I have a @googlemail.com address so I can't use this form.
I have heard Google aren't much help, I spoke to a secretary at their office in London on the phone who refused to help, fobbing me off with an email address.
Who to contact, the police?
Thanks for your help in advance! Cheers, Tom

Yep - I can't actually get into the account at all - password has been changed... Thanks so far!

You should talk to the police. Also, the person who hacked you probably knows you pretty well? Do you have any enemy that would do this and know that much about you?

Change your password. Nothing else you can do because you don't own your email. That's what you get for using a free account...

Your first clue that some thing became incorrect became whilst they asked on your PayPal digital mail handle. consumers do no longer want that. They flow in the path of the link provided by utilising eBay whilst they make a purchase order.

open another e-mail account somewhere else, copy you're contacts over and close the account.
problem solved.
you wont get very far any other way I'm afraid. police will just take details and that will be it.
