Fake email, another email other then the one you signed up with to protect yourself from someone trying to steal your password, identity etc Smile

So you can have account A and account B .... Account A may be your personal account and Account B may be your 2nd email for online uses. Smile

I think that when they say use a real email and not a fake email. is, when you put in a fake email that does not belong to you or a email made up that may not belong to anyone.

you need to use a email that belongs to you that you can check to verafy you own the email account and to finish the registration process of forums or any other registration from other sites.

I have about 3 email acounts that I use. they all belong to me and I check them all.
I use one for personal email
the second I use for on line forums
the third I use for trash stuff, like when you have to register for some company to recive product info , they will usualy use your email to send trash email that I call spam email. that kind of email to me is worthless and it never stopps.

this way , I try to keep my personal email clean . just a little orginazation to keep my life a little easyier.
