German term or phrase: Dummie-Account
Gerade in jüngster Zeit wurde auch in den Medien darauf hingewiesen, dass Personaler das World Wide Web förmlich nach Infos über die Bewerber „abgrasen“. Viele haben einen **Dummie-Account** zum Beispiel auf xxx und yyy und konfrontieren die Bewerber mit den eingestellten Informationen.

J'ai trouvé "compte dummy" mais il y a peut-être mieux ? Merci d'avance.
