I'm not really understanding the second method. I don't see how a rival
"dating" site would have any incentive to get a customer to pay for a rival
service. Are you saying that once affiliates drove a user sign-up, they would
engage the user via messages to get them to sign up for a paid plan so they
would get a greater payout? If so, how did they find the specific users that
signed up via their affiliate links?

Just trying to understand who other than WooMe would have an incentive to spam
on their site.

It wouldn't be rival dating sites; it would be affiliates to rival sites. I
guess the best way to see it is; once you have identified a sucker, take them
for all they are worth.

Possible scenario:

1) User signs up for free on WooMe

2) User is enticed by fake account to signup because the picture alone
suckered them in, and the unknown of their message just made it too much.

3) Fake account tells user to check out their profile on fake account's
website

4) Fake accounts website is a redirect with affiliate code to rival site

5) User signs up for rival site, thus giving the commission to the fake
account's holder.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it's all automated and easy to pull off.

So the user signs up for paid accounts on two different sites? Sounds
lucrative and very shady.

If the user is gullible enough - or at least that is the hopes of some of
these fake accounts. It pays off even if you convert 10 people a day - and
most likely that is a very easy target number to hit.
