I was recently tricked into giving a password change code to a Discord bot, which stole my account. (acc name Mrmaire) For about 4 years, my account has had the same email and multiple very similar passwords due to me having a bad memory. But for some reason, Microsoft can't see that the account, which was ******@yahoo.com, was suddenly changed and all the backup emails and info were changed, and a couple of days after a compromised account form was submitted, yet they say I don't have enough proof. I have multiple ways to prove ownership, such as previous names. I can provide screenshots of the account being saved on my computer (I just can't sign in), but the launchers still know it's my account. This account is really important to me, and any information would be helpful. Also, I already filled out multiple account recovery forms, and they said insufficient evidence. As well as this event occurred, I think on the first of November.
