Yes, most likely someone using his name and therefore being fake...
Right, it won't hurt your reputation, but if you would earn 100$ with let's say 50 upvotes from people and a single vote from a bully is worth 100$, he can reduce your earning to zero with one click - even if his reputation in in the negative...
