Hey everyone! Thanks for visiting PayPal's Community Forum. Thank you @kernowlass for your help so far on this thread. We appreciate you getting a solution started here!
Hello @Nousernames, welcome! I'm sorry to hear you've run into some issues with someone else using your email address to create a PayPal account. Thank you for letting us know what you've already tried, it sounds like you've tried pretty much everything.
The best option to get this resolved is to resend an email to the address listed in this Help Center article. Please make sure you're emailing PayPal from the email address that someone else used to create that fraudulent account. In that email, please Include a simple statement acknowledging you do not have a PayPal account and would like your email removed from the PayPal system.
My apologies again for the inconvenience this caused. I hope that support team is able to get this wrapped up for you,
- Jon K
