  Yes, I've had a similar experience with my email being used to create a Coinbase account. It was quite alarming to receive an email welcoming me to Coinbase when I had never signed up. I immediately contacted Coinbase's support team to report the issue and request the account be closed. They were responsive and helpful in resolving the situation. I also took additional steps to secure my email account and enable two-factor authentication on all my online accounts to prevent further unauthorized access.
