the CP seeker is instructed to join a non-CP website, and then email the CP operator their username/pass so they can logon and verify. Once this has been tested, the CP Operator emails the CP seeker with the real CP websites and user/pass.

So if you are able to track a new member signup and see that they only logged in one time, and you have several of these, it is possible that you could be unwittingly used to fund CP.

I have had some paysite owners tell me that it's not that uncommon for a person to join and only logon one time after they joined..... um..ok.....
