Managing personal Outlook.com account settings, security, and privacy
I’m really sorry this happened, Mason Kersten.
Falling for a scam can happen very quickly, and I understand why losing both your Microsoft account and access to Minecraft is upsetting. If the attacker changes the account details almost immediately, the normal recovery form may report that address as nonexistent, as you suspected.
Unfortunately, if the automatic recovery process cannot verify that you own the account, there is no manual workaround. Microsoft Q&A just a community forum and cannot help restoring the account.
Even if you reach out to Microsoft Support, the agents are restricted from modifying or bypassing ownership checks for security reasons. They also cannot transfer your purchases, particularly Minecraft, as it is tied to your Microsoft account.
See How to recover a hacked or compromised Microsoft account.
Since your previous request was denied, consider resubmitting it with additional information instead of the same responses. Microsoft allows you to resubmit recovery form up to twice a day. Other than that, at this point, the priority is to prevent any further loss:
- Change the passwords for your email and any accounts using the same or a similar password.
- If you used this account to sign into any other services, immediately change alias and password for them.
- If the scammer accessed your computer, remove any remote-access software and run a full Microsoft Defender scan.
- If you have any backs/cards linked to the account, contact the providers to temporarily suspend/unlink it.
- Do not pay anyone who claims they can recover the account or transfer the Minecraft license.
- Check your payment methods for unfamiliar charges and cancel them with the bank.
I know this is not the answer you're hoping for, but I think it's better to be realistic so you can have the correct assessment of this situation. Let's retry the recovery form and fill in ALL the details you can still remember about your account.
