It could be that said affiliate also owns www.launderingsite.com and on that site they are targeting pedos by saying things like, "go to www.hissite.com, and click the link to www.sponsorprogram.com where you will find all the KP content. Once you are a member you will find what you desire on page 10."

That is just one example, I am sure you can build your own scenarios from there.

The point is that www.sponsorprogram.com does not have what is being promised to the surfer, but the owner doesn't have any way of knowing this because www.launderingsite.com is not linked to him, and there is nothing on www.hissite.com to tip them off that there might be a problem.

Another scenario might be that on www.launderingsite.com they are telling the surfer to go to www.hissite.com and sign up to www.sponsorprogram.com but be sure to cancel the trial right away, and they can get access to www.sponsorprogram.com and 10 other sites for free.
Ah got it, thanks. Scammers...
