Wait...you do not use MSN, yet someone does have an MSN username that is the same as your Neo username? And that person is contacting other people saying he is you? Is that right? Or, dis the person who neomailed you the same person who's got the MSN? I'm confused!
Put something on your lookup, like that someone is emailing people saying they're you, that it's not true, and if someone does email them to ask that person to neomail from your account as proof.
Also changing your secret word, checking that your email is correct is a good idea.
If you find that this person on MSN is trying to scam others via email, you could try getting in touch with the MSN people. I'm quite sure that would violate their TOS.

I changed password already.
everconfused, yep that is what he is doing, i think.
i have no time to try to contact other users of MSN at the moment as i am about to leave. i am so worried. i would not risk my trophy-laden account to scam people.
and what is a TOS?

When I suggested contacting MSN, I meant go to the MSN site. There should be something on that page that says Contact Us - most sites have a contact link. Write to MSN and tell them that this particular name is being used in an attempt to scam others and is also impersonating you. However you want to put it.
I can't of how you would ever be able to contact individuals this person has already tried to email, and I don't think you should anyway.
