This had to happen, didn’t it? If you thought Orange paid Polish actors to make fake queues outside their shops just so that it would seem that they were having a good sale, then you are wrong my friend. Or at least that’s what Orange wants us to believe!

After the furor that was caused caused all over the internet when the company publicly announced that it had paid actors to form fake queues “at front of 20 stores around the country to drum up interest in the iPhone“, the folks from AdAge tried to contact the company expecting some scoop. They received a response from an Orange official who denied that any actors were paid at all. She says:

As part of the excitement around the launch of the iPhone, some of our team have been joining customers outside our shops. Their aim is to welcome people to the Orange shop, share in their excitement and give information about Orange tariffs.

Not just that, the spokesperson goes on to mention that their “Sales are going strong“. So maybe it was just inaccurate coverage? I’d still go with the former news though. It’s not everyday that you come across such news.
