That can be true depending on what you are testing.
I have set up various accounts for testing, including Facebook, Yahoo,
Gmail, Hotmail, Live, etc., with no attachments but some get frequent spam
and others none.

Facebook is particularly bad, I constantly get emails telling me I have
friends waiting for responses on an account I set up in my company name. I
don't have any 'friends' link not even my personal account.

I think a lot of abuse varies. If you have both a land line and a mobile
phone and use your land line for all the companies which service your
home: banks, light, gas, dish network, shopping cards, etc; then you will
probably have minimum disruption on your cell phone. But if you use your
cell phone for everything then all gloves are off. I can see how laws in
different countries may make your individual experience vary.

I have a yahoo account that is used for very limited testing. I've never
received a piece of spam to it in over 10 years of use. If no one knows it,
and it's not something stupid like clinton2016, then the odds of getting
spam go down the tubes.
