“Email already in use” Apple ID error message. How to set it up

apple-idauthenticationemail

A little over month ago I received an email from the Russian Apple website, asking me to confirm my email to complete the registration of my Apple ID. I am thinking someone possibly used my email by mistake. I did not click the authentication link. The message stated that if it wasn't me who registered, I shouldn't worry.

However, now I am trying to create an Apple ID but I get the error message:

"Email already in use"

I have never registered for an Apple ID with my email address. Resetting the password through email authentication does not send me any email.

What can I do?

I highly doubt someone else could register with your email, since you stated right afterward you yourself had registered with it.
