The account was created under fraudulent pretenses. Amazon didn't perform any due diligence to confirm the email and already considers you the owner. Just take it over and shut it down.

I had to resort to this for an Ebay account that someone opened with my email address. I finally got sick of them not fixing it so I used the email-based password reset feature to login, change the password, then closed the account.
