Even if none of that is true and a real user opens and gets your E-mail, I think it is unlikely that the person would have any desire to get in and fool with your reservation. I certainly would not.

In your shoes, I would have AA put a note in my PNR, I would check up on my reservation periodically, and not worry beyond that. If you're really restless about it, you could always try to E-mail the other person with the similar name, but I probably wouldn't.

How long until your first flight on that PNR?
