I never created my Facebook. My Gmail address is a common 6 character nickname and people use it as a throw away address all the time.

Sometimes they use it to sign up for things that don't verify email. Any major service I've ignored and go to try usually has my email registered.

I deleted Facebook 3 times before giving up. I believe people were trying to reset the password and Facebook recreated the account. I have left it since before GDPR came in, but I would put money on it being an attempt to re-enable the account.
