I had the same issue with my Adobe account. Someone created an account in another country, with my email address. I took the liberty of doing a password reset own my to reclaim the address. Luckily, the user had purchased nothing. I had to then go through Adobe support to reset the country, as I couldn't do it on my own. I too was surprised that there was no process to verify the email address. What a joke!
