I don't think the writer's concern was about monetary payment, but rather disclosure of info that allows O2/Debenhams to add them to marketing/spam lists. I do think it is a deliberate hook to get people to read the article, though. They've been studying grey-hat SEO techniques, which encourage bloggers to use misleading language in order to garner more article views.
