The old double-bluff. Why limit yourself to false representation when you can really confuse them and take it a step further to false misrepresentation?

There were cases in the US.

In the UK because employers aren't allowed what you did in a role and job titles are meaningless, unless you lie about qualifications and/or dates you can get away with it.

I mean, you can be prosecuted for a misleading CV; half the ones I see are a total work of fiction

Could just put E&OE on the end in little letters....
