On August 17th, around 4 am ( Italian Time) someone stole my Microsoft account. He substituted my email ******@gmail.com with the current account ******@coranheman.com

Actually I cannot access neither my Microsoft nor my Xbox account ( gamertag 8LOKI8 fr).

How can I recall all the purchases I did within my accounts  as you can't manage to restore the accounts that has been violated? Shall I have to notice it to the postal Police?

Shall I have to create a new account? In this case, I'd love to have all my purchases done in my former account to the new one that I will create. ( I will communicate you the new name)

Awaiting for your kind instruction,

Best regards 

Andrea

    Try the page for Xbox account recovery, but in most cases it will just lead you to the normal Microsoft Account recovery Process. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-profile/manage-account/lost-password-solution

    Don't understand. If you can't access the account you can't see any purchase history.

    Shall I have to notice it to the postal Police?

    That is certainly something to try.

    have all my purchases done in my former account to the new one that I will create

    Not possible.

    I am sorry, but if you can not complete the Account Recovery Process then the account is lost.
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/help-with-the-microsoft-account-recovery-form-b19c02d1-a782-dee6-93c3-dc8113b20c42

    Microsoft Account Security is an automated process. Microsoft Support Agents can not unlock an account, reset your password, or change any Security Settings no matter what documentation you can present.

    Use the official recovery path first.

    1. Start the hacked-account recovery flow: Start. It asks for the email address or phone number and then shows self-help steps or offers the chance to talk to an agent.
    2. Before changing the password, run a full malware scan on the PC. In Windows Security, open Virus and threat protection > Scan options > Full scan > Scan now.
    3. After the scan, try to change your password. If sign-in is no longer possible, use reset your password.
    4. If the attacker changed the sign-in details and normal reset does not work, use the Sign-in Helper first, then complete the Microsoft account recovery form. Microsoft reviews recovery-form answers and responds within 24 hours.
    5. For the recovery form, use a working email address that can receive messages about the request, and provide as much account history as possible. Helpful details can include old passwords, Outlook contacts or exact subject lines, Skype details, Xbox console hardware ID, and other Microsoft services used with the account.

    About purchases and a new account:

    • The supported path in the provided guidance is account recovery, not transferring purchases from a compromised account to a new one.
    • If recovery attempts fail, community guidance in the provided material says creating a new Microsoft account may be the only practical option.
    • The provided material also says support can be contacted through the support flow if more help is needed.

    If the account is temporarily blocked because of unusual sign-in activity, use the Outlook.com unblock flow: Sign-in Helper.

    For finding the original Microsoft account username, check places where the account may still be signed in:

    • Windows 10/11: Start > Settings > Accounts. Under Email & app accounts, review usernames associated with the device.
    • Office apps: Open Word or Excel > File > Account. Under Product Information, check Belongs to.
    • Email accounts: Look for Microsoft receipts or purchase emails.
    • Xbox: Use the Xbox email-address walkthrough if needed.

    The provided material does not contain guidance about reporting the incident to postal police.
