Recover the old/original account.
You search your email inbox for an email from R* - telling you the email on the social club account was changed. It may be in another language (translate it), or sent to spam, filtered, trash. There is a link in the middle of it - to recover your account without R* support - IF - that link has not expired and this happened 'recently'.
There is also the chance a 'new' social club account was made using the old email - that will also 'break' the recovery link since the email is now 'in use'. You would need to log into the 'new' social club account first, and change the email to something else - which releases the old email, to work with the original recovery link.
Otherwise, all you can do is wait on R* support (though some people claim better luck contacting them via other categories, or new accounts and livechat or phonecallbacks and not just the 'compromised account' link --- which will likely require other hoops).
/goodluck - for some it is a couple hours, others days/weeks, multiple tries.
and the copypasta on this nonsense spam happening since June 2023ish -

tl;dr/lazy - use this link below to contact R* without logging in to RECOVER your account/fix/change email to one you have access to. Yep, many hoops to jump to prove you are the owner, have the steam account, cdkey etc, and days to wait/repeat yourself -
