Somebody used my e-mail to create ID. Now nobody (including me) can't use it

Somebody used my e-mail to create ID. Of cause the person didn't verify the email (coz it's mine). Now I can't verify the identity either because I don't know security questions. Which means I can't use my email for ID, and to me this is not right and not fair. Halp!

Any idea how to get access to MY ID?

Similar situation:

"It is saying my new email is connected to an Apple ID, I only have one ID so I have no idea what it could be connected to."

Later: "They [Apple Support] think someone accidentally made my email their id like a typo and once its linked they cant unlink it."
