Is it illegal to create a fake job offer letter for a pay raise or to obtain housing or a new job? (hexbear.net)

I’ve got a potential employer who I’m trying to strong arm into giving me an offer letter by telling them this other company also wants me. Is it illegal if I create a fake document to show them?

Fuck, do you really think it’s illegal? Really do not give a fuck about the ethics of it.

Who knows have you looked at the US Code? No one knows what is or isn't illegal, you need literal teams of lawyers and even then it comes down to the whims of some idiot in a robe.

I'm going to be honest I don't really know and I'm just guessing. Again, I'm not a lawyer lol. After a cursory google search I would amend that to "it depends on what you're lying about and who you're lying to." If it's not a government job you're probably fine.

But seriously anyone who knows more about this please call me a turbolib and correct me because I'm mostly just talking out of my ass.

I think the biggest risk in this situation is them saying "we can't match that so we rescind our offer" and you're shit out of luck.
