Email hacked

[PG1789]

Hi my email has been hacked and password s changed. They have asked for a payment to release it. Can you help?

Have you tried resetting the password via this link Forgotten your Password? | Reset Here | Virgin Media? If this fails because security question answer were not set or are no longer being accepted post back here to have issue flagged to the forum team.

When you regain control of your account  follow the advice here: My Virgin media email has been hacked | Virgin Media Help

Is the email account linked to an active Virgin Media broadband account or has it been less than 90 days since it was terminated?

FWIW do consider migrating your email needs over to a new email provider to, likely, benefit from:

• improved account security, i.e. multifactor authentication
• improved spam filtering
• better support
• no longer having to fear loss of email account when deciding on broadband service provider — Virgin Media email accounts are deleted 90 days after broadband service termination
• ⋮
