  If ‘someone’ was able to register a wordpress.com account using your email address, it means they have full access to your email and probably computer or smartphone. Perhaps you already had a wordpress.com account but forgot all about it.

  Hi there!

  The free WordPress.com site associated with the account you’ve contacted us from was created (and last updated) back in May of 2011 – have you had control or ownership of your email address since that time?

  If you’re not sure, or if this is a company or shared email, I’d recommend creating a new WordPress.com account using a personal email address only you have access to instead – as your account email is the most important way that WordPress.com staff can verify the owner of an account. (Better safe than sorry, in the long run!)

  If you’re confident this email should only have ever been yours, then I’d recommend setting a strong and secure new password for both your email account and your WordPress.com account, and setting up 2 Step Authentication for even better security on your account.

  Passwords are very important to the security of user accounts. It is a best practice to change your password frequently and not to reuse the same password for different services you use. There may come a time when you need to change your password. Or, maybe you’ve forgotten it. Whatever the case, we’re here to help.

  Once that’s taken care of, you can delete the site you’re not familiar with following these steps, then get started creating a new site and choosing the right plan for your needs from here:

  For some reason or another, ‘someone’ was the rightfull owner of that email address back in 2011, otherwise he or she couldn’t have created a wordpress.com account.

  Best solution is to follow the advice staff-arihere gave you.
