It is if you sign up with a company that already spams. That's why the
sketchier the company, the better. The best are those companies that
aggregate advertising; all they really do is sell your address to
spammers.

That's the point, if it's a spam trap, you want them to sell it to
others. That's how you get on the spammers' lists. Of course you
wouldn't give them any *real* details.
