Indeed felt quite scary in the beginning, but after some google searches, things started to calm down.
Especially this article really made me calm down, thanks.
Nevertheless I changed practically all my passwords into more complicated ones.
But how can I report the scammer? Does hotmail.com have an option for this?

Tricky for sure but still scam.
