Some systems require an email address and employees will make one up to get to the next screen. If that address is valid (or not bounced), someone can get control of your account with something as simple as a password reset.

Perhaps use "randomcustomer@example.com"? (see rfc2606)

(Or alternatively "abuse@localhost"? "root@127.0.0.1"? "spam@gmail.com"?)
