If you're saying that they somehow just take your money and don't show any terms that explain that it will start billing and rebilling and/or don't send you an email, then I would say you are right.

But I've never seen anything like that.

And as for the affiliate program...having a paysite doesn't mean you need an affiliate program. I almost wish I didn't have one. Affiliates don't have any traffic anymore. They are all just working Google...or even buying fucking adwords. Not exactly what an affiliate is supposed to be...more of a joke really.

But you're right...I'm ignorant of sites doing what you're reporting. Never seen it. Post a link that is unclickable so I can see one. What you're describing would be simple theft and would definitely cost them their merchant account.
