Were they able to verify the fake email address somehow? If not they can't actually use the account and you can safely ignore it.

Thank you for your response. I don't see how they would have been able to, but the first email I received from the app vendor was a quarterly statement notification, and includes the person's screen name on the app. I checked all of the email headers and they seem legit (match emails I receive for my own account from the app vendor)
Maybe user had an account and was able to change their email address? Vendor should've reconfirmed they're in control of the new email address.
