I really don't know. Too tired to think now. Need to get some sleep

All it does is scan through IPs and send to all of them. If it works, great, if not, no loss on their part. So, you don't need to "get" anything for them to "find" your IP address. It's basically the same as if telemarketers called random numbers and hoped they worked. So don't get too worried about having a trojan or anything because of this.
What's sad about the site you showed is that unluckily, uninformed people will pay to get that product to stop the messages when all they have to do is change a simple setting.
By the way, there have been a few threads on this already in Tilted Computers
