Unwanted Apple ID creation using personal email

some one is trying to create an apple ID using my personal email (mail@gmail.com). I don't want an apple ID under that address and I keep getting emails that say to send verification.

AppleID scam, trying to use my already validated email to create new AppleID It looks like someone is trying to use my email to set up a new AppleID. They don't have access to my email, so I'm just getting daily messages to verify my account (giving me a verification number to complete the next step), which I ignore. Any other options? these messages are getting annoying, but I can't control this other person just listing my email as theirs for the AppleID creation process. I've already logged in to both my email and apple account to verify that everything is still secure.

Apple ID and dots in Gmail address Gmail ignores dots in the address. Someone created an Apple ID with my gmail address, but with dots removed. I got the initial emails, with codes for confirmation. I never sent these codes to anyone. The account still got created, and I get emails about this Apple ID and it's services. I want to remove this Apple ID from using my email address without authorization. I don't understand how it's even possible to create the Apple ID without the confirmation codes sent to my email. How can I proceed? I don't see a solution in normal support channels.

Someone created an Apple account using my personal Gmail email. I didn't even get any notification that an account was being created - until after the fact. Apple support says there is nothing they can do - even though they allowed this to happen! - and say I should just delete my gmail email address. I've had that address 20+ years!
