trouble with an unknown email address (EA account) linked to my steam account.

 I am having trouble with an unknown email address (EA account) linked to my steam account.

When I try to LINK to steam from my EA account, it says it is already linked as shown in the attached image. However, the email address shown is completely unrecognized and I am convinced that it is the result of a hack. 

“unknown email address” is not an account I have, so I cannot log in to this EA account to unlink. I am at a loss as there is no way to unlink from the STEAM side. Only a hacker can actually unlink it, and the only way to do so is to kindly press the unlink all the way down. I feel this is not possible!

I would like to know the url of the correct inquiry on this issue.
I'm looking at the “I need help with a hacked account” support page, but all I see is a link to another support page, but no chat or email contact.

    I wanted to consult with you via chat, but I was having trouble getting the chat icon to appear when I left myself logged in.
    I tried following your instructions in a logged off state and was able to consult the chat.
    As a result, I was able to reconnect my steam account to my EA account. Thank you very much.
