First, please go ahead and do your return (not as a dependent) and mail it in. You will have to mail it to get around the e-file reject on your Social Security number.
Later, the IRS will realize that two tax returns have inconsistent information in that someone reported you as a dependent and you did not. They will write letters to both parties, and you will be able to explain the situation then.
If you think that this was possibly Identity Theft (could be), please see the link in xmasbaby0's post above about Identity Theft.
