I was told it was Viagra advertisements by some people and weird political stuff by other people. I reported it to the abuse website for hotmail, and before I knew it they cancelled my account. Went to customer service and had the same troubles you are having. I finally filled out a claim that my account had been closed unjustly. Got a contact back asking me all kinds of questions to prove I was the owner of the account. After a few days, it was mysteriously opened up again without any feedback from them. Good luck.
More likely, your account wasn't used, your e-mail address was spoofed. This was happening at one point with my account.
