It's not illegal and as long as they don't need your SSN they won't care. I've thought about doing this to have a pen name with a pseudo anonymous identity but I also have burner emails to avoid spam.

My concern is leaking through browser sessions. If browser adware finds traces of two identities in a session, your secret is out. If browser fingerprinting works (it does), your secret is out.
