You can also enter a random email. They don't verify it.


This tends to be my preferred approach, because it degrades signal-to-noise that they get from the nag.


I go the extra mile and always enter their own email.


If you’re being malicious at that point why not just look up “software engineer companyname” on LinkedIn and use firstname.lastname@companyname.com

Haha, this is a great idea.


I don't like to enter random emails into forms. The company needlessly suffers with bad data going into their lists and ends up taxing other email providers with sends to non-existent inboxes. Unless you use a domain like example.com or something.


Use the domain of the website itself.
