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

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
(Please don’t actually do this)

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.
