I've done the same for decades, and I definitely receive spam from some of them. The most spammy of them has been equifax, but that one was so publicly hacked that I didn't need spam to know about it. Confirmation has its value I guess. It'd be nice to know if equifax sold the information and got hacked, that's entirely ambiguous and now equifax has plausible deniability thanks to the hack. Le sigh.
