Ethical Issue: Need Referrals? Make Up Your Own

In the last two days, I've seen a couple of posts asking for referrals for miles/points. What seems obvious to me is: if you need referrals, why not go into a free e-mail service, create accounts for fictitious people, and use them as your referrals? Since you would control the e-mail accounts, you could handle and follow-up e-mail to these "people".

I guess it's not a big deal for me (I must be a bigger slime-ball than most), but is it an ethical issue for most FT'ers? Or just not worth the hassle?
