yes, very sorry all. If you fell for it, there's some indication that if you cancel your account before they spam your contact list, it won't happen. Not sure though. It took them about 24 hours to start sending emails out on my behalf.

Hey, folks. Ryan isn't spamming us. He sent this note earlier:<br>
<br>
You have all probably received an email invite from me to join <a href="http://quechup.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">quechup.com</a>.<br>
<br>
It's
an evil scam! Don't do it! I can't believe I fell for it either. How
many years have I been using the internet? Not enough apparently.
<br>
<br>
I'm very sorry for the spam!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
