Email address used to create an unauthorized Apple ID

Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if this has been discussed already, i can not find anything in the forum. Someone is using my email address (that is not my Apple ID email) to probably open a fake ID. I receive several notifications and I also tried to log in to apple id with that email. The fact that I am asked for a birthday date when I use Iforgot its a sign that the ID is active. I can not find anywhere where to send a report to Apple to ask to ban that ID, as it is my email address. Thanks a lot in advance for your help. Cdf123

Apple does not know that the email address is yours. As far as Apple is concerned the Apple Account was set up fairly by somebody who had full access to that email account. Therefore your real issue is the lack of security around your email account. The Apple Account isn't yours. There isn't much you can do about the Apple Account that was created using it except to prevent further use of the email account. The person who created the Apple Account will find it difficult to manage the Apple Account without access to that email account and hopefully abandon it.
