They usually tell them that they can then cancel it right away. So, on the one end you have somebody having people signing up with the purpose of cancelling right away and getting them the free trial signup money. Which is why, many affiliate programs now bar chat traffic in their terms and conditions. Then, it is often fraud to the surfer too because there is no 'woman' and after they have joined the person they were chatting to vanishes and gives them nothing in return.
