You have two option: 1. Best one is You can send a confirmation mail to user to confirm its genuine user or not?

  1. Use gem 'email_validator' , require: 'email_validator/strict' to validate email

Use 2-factor email authentication method.

Send email to user email address and verify it.

Its the best method to validate email.
