I still am amazed so many people think they can get away with this.  Sure, it 
happens, but it is the lamest, most unethical, and crappiest trick that can be 
pulled.

Somebody out there who has real experience and actually cares about doing a 
good job is ignored because the top 10 applicants in the stack made up the 
last 4 places they supposedly worked at.  As a bonus, the employer is also 
getting screwed because they have to waste time interviewing completely 
hopeless candidates.  Actually, on top of that is if they accidentally do hire 
a bad egg, then learn later that they lied on the application, who's going to 
trust you with a cash drawer now?

It's one thing to fudge some details, like dates or the size of the 
place...it's another thing when you're researching the list of places that 
shut down in the last 6 months.
