How do I get my contacts back from another account?

My account was used 2 send spam 2 my contacts.now my emails&contacts r gone.how can I get them back?

• When I opened my email this morning there was NOTHING there. My wife's Gmail got the spam msg from my account and her gmail is blank now too. she got an email at her work address and that's how we found out what happened. so how do I recover all my contact's info and all my incoming and sent emails and those I've saved in folders? The spam msg was one on those that says "I'm in London w/o $$ please send some".

• Answer:

  Yahoo Help has a whole page on what to do if your account has been hacked http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/classic/contacts/spam-03.html Do not delay, they can only guarantee recovering your lost emails if you report within 24 hours of them being deleted Your wife also needs to find a way to contact your Contact List to inform them that you are not in London and you don't need money - your account was hacked. That happened to a friend of mine and unfortunately 3 of her friends ended up sending money to the criminals before she even knew her account had been hacked.
