Ugh, why did I click that link?!? :(

Anyway, guys, I don't know if any of you are familiar with this site Fanbox.com; apparently it's a reincarnation of SMS.ac.

The lowdown is that I got an email from a friend who "sent" me something. I clicked on the link (stupid me), and got taken to the site where it asked me to enter my email address and password. I DID NOT, and closed the window. :-|

Still, a few mins/hours later I get an email in my inbox saying an account has been created for me. OH NO... does this mean I'm going to start receiving hundreds of spam emails a day?? :((

I did not give them any info or click on any other links besides my clicking that initial link. That was all I ever did. Is there still a way out for me, or does this mean bye-bye spam-free email account? :((

Thanks for that link. So far, so good--I've only gotten one email.
