So I know questions like this have been asked a million times, but I can't seem to find one exactly like this.
I've tried looking around for a fix but I haven't found one as of yet.
I am told that the Apple ID linked to my email address is that email address, but then when I try to verify it (using that email address) I am told it's in use.

Trying to explain it step by step:
I put my name and email address (me123@gmail.com) into this
https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid#!&section=appleid
to see if I had an Apple ID.
Success: "Your Apple ID is me123@gmail.com"
I go to login to the Apple ID page and log in using me123@gmail.com, and it says the account needs to be verified. An email is sent to me123@gmail.com, I enter the code but get a message saying that the email address is being used by another Apple ID.

Anyone had any luck with a similar problem?
