What's to say that it isn't a joe-job?

This said, nothing from a .biz domain gets in here. That GTLD might as well
be renamed .spam and it would be far more truthful.

Don't bother. Point out that the registrant's e-mail address is a
yahoo.co.jp address to Yahoo! (who prohibits such use of Yahoo! mailboxes)
and have the mailbox shut down. Then try and send a mail to that mailbox,
log the transcript and failure, then go to Neulevel and tell them that the
whois info is incorrect (because the e-mail address of the registrant is
invalid). They should then shut the domain down and put it on hold.
