Greetings Bootz6,
Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities.

Having this information will give the community more insight. In return, we will be able to provide you with the next best steps to take.
In the meantime, we'd like to provide you with a few details that may be able to assist you:
"Create a new address with Hide My Email
You need to have two-factor authentication set up in order to create an address with Hide My Email.
- On iCloud.com, click
in the toolbar, then click Hide My Email. - Do one of the following:
- If you have active addresses, click
next to “[number] active email address(es).” - If you don’t have any active addresses, click “Set up a new email address.”
Hide My Email generates a unique, random email address.
3. Add a label for the address. Your addresses are listed alphabetically by label.
4. You can also do either of the following:
- Click “Use a different email address” to change the address.
- Add a note to help you remember how you use the address.
5. Click “Create email address.”
Change the forwarding address
Every unique, random address you create with Hide My Email is forwarded to the same email address. You can change the forwarding address at any time.
- On iCloud.com, click in the toolbar, then click Hide My Email.
- Scroll to the “Forward to” section, then choose a different address.
The “Forward to” section is below your list of active addresses and above your inactive addresses.
Note: You can forward your unique, random addresses to an email address associated with your Apple ID. To add or remove an address, go to the Apple ID account website."
