Doesn't look that great, no contact details on their site, other than e-mail & the registrant name on the whois is listed as N/A. Seems they have recently switched from a .com extension to .net, probably to cover their spam tracks, looking at the search results for the name.

This blog post has a bit of info on them:

Let me just explain this type of spam and how it doesn't work:

1. You should be opted-in to receive it.

2. The emailer should state their telephone, physical address and an opt-out link.

If it don't conform to that, it's 'orrible 'ormel.
