Locked account

I seem to be locked out of my Verizon.net email, I’m not sure if it’s due to a migration issue to Yahoo or it has been hacked. I’m suspecting it’s more likely that it’s been hacked, due to the recovery phone number is nothing that I recognize. I called Verizon tech support since the Yahoo Help redirects me to Verizon. I ran into roadblocks, this is a Keep My Email situation so there is no active account and I was told that Yahoo now handles resets. The problem with this is, Yahoo is no help whatsoever! I just get in a vicious circle of online help pages and a community forum full of posts that Yahoo provides no reachable tech support!

Is there any other options? I have many important emails saved concerning legal issues and also receive security related alerts on this account.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

You mentioned that the account was migrated. Is this a Verizon/Yahoo account, or a Verizon account that was migrated to AOL?
