Shaving or not?

I saw this posted on another forum about 2 affiliate programs using the same thing.

I wont name names but I've done my own testing and it's happening. So do you think this is shaving?

1)Surfer hits the sign up page of a site which of course has your affiliate ID on it.

2)Surfer decides to hit back button or just close out the window.

3)A console loads with a warning message giving them the option of either closing the browser or clicking cancel and taking a free trial.

4)If you click cancel you will have access to a "fake" chat window (that was already loaded) with the option to click on a link for the trial @ 14.95.

5)If the surfer clicks the option for the free trial, the page refreshes and changes the ID.

So you think this is shaving? Only one of the two programs replied with the excuse that they don't pay on exits.
