  You might want to contact WordPress directly about this issue by going here:
  https://wordpress.com/help/contact

  However you might also need to figure out how someone used your email address since you would normally have got all the confirmation and verification emails during the set up process so you would know that somemone was using your email address.

  Hi there, I see you’ve already posted via the contact form, but also asked this same question 3+ years ago. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/some-asshole-opened-an-account-with-my-email-address-in-a-fraudulent-way-why-ca?replies=2#post-2128384 and received a reply from @1tess.

  @mouli-if you see the “wpcomhelp” tag in the sidebar, it means the user has posted in the contact form but is on the free account so the request is posted to the community forums for assistance.
