Scam email link clicked

Hi, I’m receiving lots of junk emails and I clicked on a link to unsubscribe and entered my email address on the link. Weird things happened and I deleted email immediately. Will my email be compromised, will spyware or malware be put on my iPhone?

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Never do that again, so they know that your email address is a valid email address and will continue to spam and also distribute your email address to other spammers.

will spyware or malware be put on my iPhone?
