    Hi my identity has been being used for many things 2 of the emails I searched brought up usernames and gravitas from word press. I have screenshots of them if you like I can send them and all the details to help. My name is Kelley mcelaney.
    One of the emails was (email visible only to moderators and staff)
    I do not recall which other I searched and it brought up the gravitas maybe
    (email visible only to moderators and staff)
    (email visible only to moderators and staff)
    The usernames are as follows and I tried signing in so I know they exist, they are copies of my true emails made on different networks.

    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    It’s utterly impossible to create a duplicate of an email address on another server.
    If people were able to create and activate a wordpress.com account using your email address(es), it means they have full access to your email.
    It’s also not possible to search for the email address of a wordpress.com account as wordpress.com doesn’t reveal the email address of a wordpress.com account.
    Usernames on the wordpress.com platform are almost without limitation. Also you can’t claim a wordpress.com username because you use that username on other platform(s). E.g. searching for your name brings up 609.000 hits

    Following on from what @staartmees has said, also if you click on a “Contact” page on someone else’s blog while you are signed in, it will show YOUR email address (it pre-fills the form for you) and sometimes people get confused by that and think that the other person is using their email, but that’s not the case.
