Unapproved icloud account

Someone (hack/scam) opened an icloud account from my gmail address. My regular icloud is not from that email address. I was able to change the password but cannot continue because I don't know the secret questions/answers they set up. What to do?

iPhone 6s, iOS 11

You might have revealed answers for security questions , data of birth , rescue mail address and its password to them .

They have completely changed the credentials .

if you still owe the device check is your Apple ID signed in or they have removed your Apple ID ( signed out Apple ID and signed in with their Apple ID ) from an iPhone If you forgot your Apple ID - Apple Support

Do your Apple ID still exists on server https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid#!&section=appleid

The Apple ID might be example1@gmail.com

You can convert the secondary authentication account into 2FA Manage two-factor authentication from iPhone - Apple Support
