So somebody apparently made this account using my email and made a domain that looks very fishy. IF at all possible i would like to have the domain removed and i would also like to have this account terminated. Thank you for your time.

If someone was able to make this account using your email address, it means that person has full access to your email account.
You can and must close this account yourself, https://en.support.wordpress.com/close-account/ -
Just a clarification – creating an account doesn’t require access to to someone’s email address, and people often create accounts with existing, but wrong email addresses due to typos.
Someone won’t be able to use an account without activating it, and only at that point would it require access to the email account.
That said the OP’s account was created 7 years ago, and it was created via Gravatar.com, so the more likely explanation in this case is that the OP signed up on Gravatar years ago, and forgot about it/didn’t realise signing up at Gravatar also creates a WordPress.com account for you.
So in this case there’s no reason to suspect the OP’s email account has been compromised.
With cases like these it’s always best to tag for staff so we can check what’s actually going on.
The account has since been closed, so I’m marking this thread resolved.
