This is obviously a risk that subscribers should be aware of. C2 does post an explicit warning about this to any subscriber who starts to AutoTrade a “free” system. Remember, nothing is ever really free. You are always paying for a system, somehow. In the case of “Free AutoTrade Forex” systems, you pay through the AutoTrading fee and the bid/ask spread.
To answer you specific question, though: I haven’t seen any evidence of this manipulation. In general, a system vendor that is so dumb and malicious to do this probably won’t have many subscribers for long.
