Well if its a fake email meaning an email like [email protected] that doesn't have an email host and can't be created. However there are people that sell acounts with a fake email but the email is hosted on an email site for example hotmail.
So if the email was like [email protected] you could go and make the account [email protected] if its available.
They can then register that email after they sell you that account and use it to recover. So just watch out what the email login can be and also if it is with an email host ask them for the info before.
