Is Incogni wothwhile?

Do not use any such services online. That will just generate another data point. Instead do it yourself manually. And in future create new email for every service. And use something like fake name generator to get name and email ID.
I’ve already been creating a unique email address for nearly every service, for many years. That probably complicates something like Incogni, which is a good point, thanks. It’s also amusing and telling when the phishing emails start coming into equifax@mydomain (true story).

I think it's similar to the idea of clicking on the unsubscribe links on spam email. It lets the spammer know it's a real, active address, so, often, it just ends up giving you more spam since they share that info. Only unsubscribe from things you actually subscribed to in the first place.
Oh good point. That's likely what happened
