Is it illegal to give a fake address online?

I'm registering for something but is it illegal to give a fake address and zip and state info online. I don't want to get in any trouble or have something mailed accidentally to a random person.

    No it's not illegal. It's safe and a smart idea to do that until you know what everything the website is about.

    No its not illegal. Companies just try to trick you in order to get your "consent" to be sent spam.
