Someone used my gmail to create a Walmart account...

So a strange thing happened to me this week! Someone used my gmail to create a Walmart account and I got an email saying they bought an $80 lego set. I was able to log into the created account with my regular google login. They entered a different phone number but kept my email and also the card used to buy the lego set was not mine or anyone I know.

So it seems like they just used my email to create this account. Nothing else in my bank accounts or finances look out of the ordinary but I'm worried that I'm missing something or I should be more concerned.

I've since changed my gmail password, and added a secondary email. I already had 2 factor auth on it but double checked that it was enabled.

Just wanted to throw it out there and see if anyone else had things I should be concerned about in terms of fraud prevention. Thank you!
