Is there any record of a company using the recruiting process to actually scam programmers for free work?

By now you may have seen posts about programming jobs wich ask for some submission and folks usually rightfully complain, and usually a couple commenters suggest that it may be used to steal code from someone.

Has this ever actually been documented? Has the programmer been able to sue them?

It happens all the time, but I've never heard of someone successfully suing for this.

Whenever it happens the developer goes over to Glassdoor and writes a furious review of the interview process, only to find numerous other reviews by other, equally cheated developers.

The lesson here is to check Glassdoor before you start the interview process, and avoid such companies like the plague.
