Yes, this does happen apparently.
See my comments and review on Mega Site pass...I had a very similar problem with "stealth instant upsells".....utterly disgraceful.
A member of a site, should feel free to explore the site and click on links without fear of signing himself up to other sites, services etc.
I reckon we should have a page on this site for naming and shaming sites that do this type of thing.....

REPLY TO #1 - OneMan :
Would be interesting if they had a page for that. However, since I put my trust in to TBP and most of the users on PU, the fact that TBP states they won't do business with the site and comments posted about the sites and their dirty tactics is enough for me to not join. So, in a way, this system is already in place with how things are. I'm just mad that I forgot to write this comment until now because this happened awhile ago.
As far as the clicking on banners thing and getting charged, that is extremely unfair and I would like to know any sites that do this. Therefore, your best bet is to post comments, write reviews, and post forum threads about any sites that use dirty tricks, it will sure help an extremely large amount of people that come here. There are plenty of silent PU's that would appreciate any information that anyone lets them in on.

REPLY TO #2 - GCode :
Hi GCode,
Yes I agree, there is, to a degree, already built-in to the system, protection against spurious/devious websites. BUT, at long as the information about the spurious nature of sites is retained, so it can be seen by potential members when browsing the BP site.
ie. don't delete all the stuff about the site from the BP servers. We need to know "Who" the offenders are.
But, so as not to give the site any undeserved publicity, having a link next to the name of the site that directs the user to the "Named and Shamed" Page....instead of the reviews page, would ensure that everyone is warned. A selection of comments could be retained so the user gets the picture about the site.
Cheers.
