Probably the first step in preventing spam & scam is don't post your email address in a public forum, as you just did.

Your contacts are in your addressbook, which is not affiliated with accounts, so the contacts will not be affected.

That is because they are separate entities. You can add and delete accounts, but the addressbook remains unaffected, so long as you stay within your current profile, which is the default.
