“Account already exists” appears when creating Samsung Account

Environment

When creating a new Samsung Account, after entering an email address for the account, the following error message appears:

Account already exists.

This message appears even if the email is not associated with a Samsung Account.

The term “Samsung” cannot be used in the email you are using to register a new Samsung Account.

Enter an email address that does not contain the term “Samsung”.
