Somebody used my email address to sign up to facebook, how do I undo this?

[ZWp6IAYobhvb5oQJ]

Some person halfway across the world has used my (short) email address to sign up for Facebook, I am now getting daily spam from Facebook.

I do not want to 'unsubscribe' - because this is not my account, I want the account un-linked from my email address completely.

Facebook should know better than to allow an email address to be used without verifying it.

If I can log in to the account, change the password and close the *expletive deleted* account I will.
Done, changed language, changed password, deactivated account.

Facebook and twitter both did this to me f****** a*******s should confirm email addresses.

Yeah go to facebook click "forgot password" send the password to your email, or reset via email or whatever. You can do exactly what you said.

yup that's how you do it

log into it, change the password for it

then go here to delete it

I tried to do this and got an error from Facebook saying that my laptop is an unknown device. It asked me to verify info. about the person, which I could not and it won't let me into the account using my e-mail. F-ing Facebook...
