There are no magic pills to avoid scammers existing. If not this one another will come and take his place.
The only remedy is to be smart about it. Next time someone offers to sell you something unorthodox ask yourself "why does this person want to sell this item?"
Had you done that simple exercise you would have figured out pretty quickly it made no sense for anyone to sell an affiliate account with spenders.
Keeping an affiliate account takes no effort, has no risk and no cost. Why get rid of it? Why not keep it idefinately as long as the spender spends?
The only reason to sell something like this would be if the seller thought he could get more from a buyer than what he would get from the account. Maybe he had some key piece of info he isn't giving you. Something like... the spender is slowly decreasing his spending and he figured it will be close to zero soon. Maybe he did something fraudulent with the account and thinks he will get caught. Something along those lines.
Be smart.
