They are.
We caught "community builders" making disingenuous posts trying to pass reposted/translated content as OC to generate engagement. After getting caught doing so with their admin accounts they tried again using normal users.
They also had the bright idea to spam users via DM using a poorly templated message (verbatim "insert u/USERNAME") to promote localized copies of low-quality subs (the kind of trash you see on r/all).
