They chat person was no help, they said the only way to recover is to use the auto recover tool "which does not work"

Thanks for the reply, I was on with chat for an hour this morning, the problem is the hacker changed the email on my skype and the auto recovery will not allow me to try to recover it anymore, I guess 3 times is the limit, it says wait 24 hours and try again,Īnd it has been more than 24 hours but every time I try it now it just keeps saying to many attempts.
