Ninja thanks for your response. I have created a private support ticket to have it edited.
However, my point also was that the "sign up and checkout" button during the ordering process should first send a confirmation email, and only after verifying the customers` entered email address go into the payment part of the ordering process.
In other words, it should be impossible to pay for an order using an email address that has not been verified.
I hope this can be addressed going forward.
