PR agency caught bribing developers to promote Samsung's Smart App Challenge in forum posts

PR agency caught bribing developers to promote Samsung's Smart App Challenge in forum posts

Android developer Delyan Kratunov has taken to his blog to expose what he believes to be underhanded tactics by Samsung to help promote their upcoming developer competition online. According to Kratunov, he was contacted by PR firm Fllu representing Samsung who offered him a cool $500 for his Android expertise, only he wouldn't actually be developing anything. Fllu's proposition to Kratunov was him jumping onto the Stacks Overflow community website for developers, and asking a series of 4 casual questions — provided by Fllu — over the course of 30 days, to help spread the word about Samsung Smart App Challenge.
