Someone made an account under the email I'm using for said account?

So I got an email saying someone had made, and verified, this account using my current email address, naturally I made sure to change the password to this account and all its information, but... I don't understand the motive? Were they waiting for me to log in so they could get my details on the off chance I didn't change the password? To be clear, I did not make this account, it was made using my email and I'm just trying to stay logged in till I know what's going on.

I'm not sure what to do about it, are there any other security measures I should be taking here? It's not like they had access to my payment methods or anything, I'm really baffled and concerned.

I also changed the password for my email of course, it did scare me that they managed to verify the account somehow, but there's no new logins detected on gmail so I have no idea what's going on.

Also if it matters, the email address I received all this info from was mailto:EA@e.ea.com, I wasn't sure if it was legit so I made sure to only log into the website itself, wasn't gonna risk falling for a phishing scam.

So yeah, any advice? Should I be worried, should I be doing something else? I appreciate any and all help.

    I have the same issue. I just logged in in this account after creating a new password and I don’t know what to do. I’m trying to get the account deleted. Im worried

    Don’t have any answers but the exact same thing happened to me and I’m unable to delete the account now 🤷
