Random user showing up when I click "assign" in my Dropbox Paper document

Hi, I've noticed [email address removed per the Dropbox Community Guidelines] shows up as an option when @-ing someone in dropbox paper.. I've never seen or knew of anyone with that name and email before much less shared anything with them.. how do i get them removed from the dropdown?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
