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?

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.
