Could be. But I've been using a real email address for a decade, and 
never noticed any spam related to a.f.c.

I get a lot of spam, but most of it is from nonprofits/advocacy 
groups/politicians, who obviously share email lists with each other. 
And IT headhunters with Indian names, one of who made a typo years ago 
that put me on his list, and now dozens of them send to me. It's easy 
to delete en masse just by looking at the sender/subject (the 
headhunters get tossed with filter rules). There is apparently some 
filtering at namecheap (which my mail comes through), and my ISP... I 
can't tell if they filter, or just randomly throw mail away.
