I also don't have direct contact with the actual individuals doing this. They were brokered to me in a double blind deal (they don't know who I am either) by a broker.

It happened to me that an USA person resold/brokered me a Filipino guy who hired "chat agents" who ultimately was doing signups. These chat agents in turn had contacts with filipinos living in USA and Australia who was friends with some US and AU citizens neighbours of them, with whom they had a deal so they will submit a $10 sale with their credit card and IP in order to get $20 back. I paid $80 PPS for each of these $10 submissions, so $70 profit for affiliate, and the split it was like $10 to cardholder, $10 to filipino expat friend of cardholder, $10 to filipino agent in the philippines, $20 to the boss of the filipino agents in philippines, and $15 to the USA reseller who ultimately I paid.
Since the cardholder just wanted to multiply $10 into $20, he been given the join page and did not even checked what the site it was about, even less cared to buy more. Even if most did not chargeback, this is not good for PPS, but only for rev share (but in such case, you do't find chat traffickers easily). I remember a chat traffic guy making $3000 worth of PPS, then no one (zero) in next year either buy more or chargeback, all it was legitimate cardholder from own IP signing up, incentivized to signup in some off-site way, at times that's to get a cam show in yahoo/skype or just to be nice to the agent; i.e. I want help you because have sick mother or young kids to feed, and rather than send you $10 directly, I go deposit $10 in that one link you give me so you get $80 instead.
