Default Who are Cashette.com?

I removed a lot of spam accounts from my forum this evening and while looking thru the email addresses of the 'users' the domain cashette.com kept coming up. So who are these guys?

Eh...say what now?
Okay, so maybe it's just me not understanding the jargon above..so I looked up their company in google and i came across this quote

Therefore the ultimate anti-spam solution is to simply take away that incentive by making the spammers pay. As the people who receive spam incur the loss of their valuable time, it is only fair to make the advertisers pay those who receive email advertising. That is exactly what Cashette does.”
Ok...so lets see. The company charges the spammers on the your behalf? WTF

Who are these morons and why are there approx 10 users with email addresses like the following in my forum's memberlist?

halleluja666 at cashette.com
jeep-grand at cashette.com
loginrsn at cashette.com

The other domains that i'm awaiting email notifications from are web.de, yandex.ru, aol.com. yahoo.com, getamusic.com, gawab.com and orlymusic.com

Yeah...well no but yeah.... i went into the admin panel and i blocked the domain @cashette.com but two new members from their domain have signed up since then. Maybe I did it wrong.

I'd feel kinda bad if I banned them as they're making Louie a bit of cash like

I found an image of the head honcho of cashette on msn live. He has a blog there but it's in chinesse or japenesse or something equally foreign.

His email address appears on the whois...
I wonder if he likes poker and russian mail brides?

edit/

Here is what i presume is his profile
耳朵爱上了音ä¹

Not sure how many Leon Zuos we have in the world??
He had his photo up there instead of the default msn one yesterday. Late 20's by the looks of things.

Michele, did any users from Cashette actually post on here? I don't think they get past the email comfirmation. One poster on a spam forum says they're trying to increase their linkbacks to cashette.com but their users can't edit their profile to add the link...so what is the point of all this?
