I don't think we need to monitor for fallow accounts. a year ago I saw a post by someone (I forget who) who is a frequent poster and seems well respected, a well known sponsor, and he said he immediately cancels any account that gave him an invalid email address and his chargeback ratio was near zero.

If they're gonna do fraud, they don't want to give any real info, so the e is invalid. He said that he has cancelled lots of accounts due to invalid e and never got a complaint about access failure.

Wish I could remember who that was, but it makes sense and I believe it.
