Do you have a secret email account?
If you do is it full of spam and junk emails?

No, just a standard one. It is not "full of spam and junk" but does attract some. Not all such messages are criminal. More are direct and indirect advertising ones from genuine firms.
I do not receive advertisements on the telephone, but about half of the criminal attempts are by 'phone, including silent calls.

A couple of years ago I bought two band-saw blades from Machine Mart, and ever since keep receiving their e-post publicity for things like garage equipment and wood-burning stoves! It's about time I blocked them. If I want something I will ask them, and for my specific need.
On the other hand....
My banks sends a short, e-post satisfaction questionnaire every time I use it for anything needing counter service (i.e., more than simply using the ATM). I do not object because I now reply by praising not only their service, which genuinely is good, but also for still having a readily-accessible, physical branch in the town-centre.
