Possible hacked email account.

It has been three months since I last received any kind of email notification of a win, despite never slacking off over that period (one or two wins a week is usual). I've still had Facebook and postal notifications, however, and so I am extremely concerned that someone is !!!!!!ing with my emails.
I know that wins aren't guaranteed, but something is definitely not right here. I've changed my password and I'm left wondering what other measures I can take to find out if I've been hacked and what to do about it.

    if you have a filter that catches all the 'win & congrats' emails then send one from another email with those words in the body

    if not set up a filter and try the above

    Can't remember the last time I received a WEM
    although last year I used to get at least 3-4 a week

    I've not had a WEM since the start of Feb, you've probably just not won anything that would require a WEM notification.

    Last year I went six months without any WEMs, so I wouldn't worry about it.
