I'm not quite sure why they thought this was an ok thing to do.....

I hate this sort of thing. I think user reviews are really helpful and this just weakens their credibility, which is often in question anyway.

Who? O2? They didn't sanction it from what I can see and their staff just got excited and didn't think. When you're faced with questions like this, just think "orange wire, green grass" before you post.

It should be obvious to any imbecile that leaving reviews for your own company's products is a bit naughty.

An accident with a lawnmower cable that I had, which they won't let me forget.

I think you may be over-estimating the intelligence of the average O2 worker.

But anyway, even if it is obvious it's not like O2 can do any more to control it than they already do (apparently they say it is forbidden in company handbook / contract).

We probably would if you didn't keep calling out other peoples mistakes.

When companies and/or their staff mislead their potential customers, you bet I'll out them.

From the comments the staff have been posting on iTunes since they've been outed it seems they don't think they've done anything wrong! [rolleyes]

I'm pretty sure what they've done must be against the App Store's T&C so I'd hope Apple would take swift action over this.

It is not O2 the companies fault that O2 employees have posted these reviews. How are you not getting this? I'm not saying it's right, I'm just confused as to why you think O2 is to blame?

Have you looked at the comments they posted? Are they really the kind that would sway you into buying an app or not? Seriously, who gives a crap.

Did I say that? I don't believe I did.

I think you're missing the point. There's a very good reason why this practice is frowned upon.
