Proposal to place a comment of our company in the inform. article: are there any risks?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Hello everyone)
We are an outsourcing IT company, the following letter came the other day:
Get a free mention from a resource with 130k monthly organic traffic
In January, the team of the site lalala.com is preparing a publication on the topic "App Development Trends 2020".
They invite thought leaders to give them a short comment on the topic.
According to ahrefs, the site has a DR of 78. The volume of organic traffic is 130k per month.
Send your comment through this form: I'm attaching the screenshot.
Be sure to add a mention of your company in the response (mention without an active link is still useful for SEO and important for PR).
I think that in addition you will be able to get a backlink - most likely, a link to your site will be indicated in the signature.
So, I’m wondering if there is a possibility of some kind of SEO fakap for us?) Is there any danger that this placement will not give us profit, but only harm?)
I looked at their site, everything seems to be okay. Didn't find anything negative about them.
Thank you in advance)

There are no risks, they just stimulate the interest of others in themselves :)
