I can confirm this. I just went to WoW's site and signed up for a free trial and it did not ask for a credit card or anything. Although, I think it used to at one point in time.
Anyway, there is a major difference in how Blizzard, Netflix, and other sites that offer "free trials" work compared to Video Professor. When you sign up for a free trial at Netflix, it makes sure you are aware that it is a 2 week trial and that afterwards you will be billed. I went to Video Professor's website, and the only time it even mentions the word trial is in the fine print on the left side. If you are aware that it will bill you then it should not be considered a scam, but Video Professor doesn't even make it sound like a subscription, let alone a trial. Then again, who needs Video Professor anyway? eHow and Youtube have tons of videos on how to do pretty much whatever. Its just getting the word out to the non-tech-savvy crowd that free alternatives do exist.
