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?

Honestly, it's safer to just say that you've got another offer you're considering "just FYI" and leave it at that. You don't owe them any proof, and it would be weird of them to ask. You're not an employee, it's none of their business who else is offering to hire you. You can keep it confidential "by request" or whatever.

Faking a job offer is more impractical than it is illegal, imo. I would advise against telling lies that have paper trails. Just my two cents.

This is much harder to prove you're lying and doesn't over extend your leverage OP
