These guys put in this cute little feature where after install, it brings up a screen to add contacts. If you don't read carefully (or maybe even if you do ... I can't seem to get back to the screen) it SPAMs all of your freaking contacts!!!
Looks to me like it's just another IM / VOIP client, but with an auto-add-all-your-contacts-and-SPAM-them "feature".

What auto-SPAM screen actually says
"Here are your closest friends on Yoomba"
"Let them know you are on!"
-- and then a big orange "Next" button --
Of course those were not in fact my closest friends "on" Yoomba, but rather my entire contact list, which it proceeded to SPAM.
Got me! How embarrassing. Needless to say I uninstalled. Maybe this will save some other people the embarrassment.
It's true
It's true, a colleague of mine installed Yoomba and this morning I go the email without her intentionally sending. It may be true that there is an obscure opt out however I am not game enough to look on the site in case it too send to my contacts without my approval.
