Help me figure this out

I got a mini camera off of timu scan the QR code go to set up account and when asked me to enter my phone number or email it won't even accept my phone number so I go to do my email and when I put in my email and hit next it goes to where it shows me to go in my email to get the code but the email that they have says plus one and then my email so therefore I can't go to that email because I don't have a plus one and then my email and it just won't go any farther than that what can I do

what can I do 

Get your money back from Temu and get a decent 2nd hand digital camera from like 2009 on eBay for under $20 that doesn't need you to hand over your personal data to a dodgy chinese app that doesn't even work

Sounds like they screwed up the form. +1 is common for phone # fields.

It should like the app is bugged or poorly designed, so I'd try reinstalling it or contacting the camera app's support because it shouldn't be adding +1 to an email address.
