They provided false credentials. The account is yours.

IANAL but I don't think it works like that. Ownership is not the same as control.

Sure it was. I create an account, accept the terms and condition and put in your email address, your phone number and your street address. It's still my account, I am the one that accepted the conditions (you would cry foul if you were bound by the conditions you didn't accept).

You have no legal business relationship with a service you've signed up for with no exchange of funds. An EULA is not a contract and they fully indemnify the service provider anyway. All you've done is initiate the creation of some database entries on someone else's property.
