    Just test it and make sure it's not legit first or you could end up giving him someone else's promo code.

    Wow, what a fool. Seriously, when will he give up? Is there anyway to notify apple of this? ALso, the only reason he keeps on going is probably because some people fall for it. Then he get encouraged.

    I'm always getting people asking for promo codes for review - if I don't know the site and I know the main ones then I ignore them. But I thought one of the rules of the forum was not to beg the devs for promo codes because that would be an instant ban.

    lol. i still laugh every time at the 'app review bash' thing. if i were him, i'd just offer a review up-front!
     
  11. Send him a fake code with an embedded message, see if he's smart enough to suss it out.

    "Hi, here are a few codes for you:

    3ATM34SSH0L3
    H41RYNU754CK
    UR4D0UCH38A6
    E4T8460D1CK5
    60D131N4F1R3

    I hope you and your readers enjoy them!"
