This is why reference checks and background checks exist lol. Even if this was a real person not a marketer, you can't just blatantly lie your way through the process. I've seen so many people try this, and they're a soft yes/maybe but we get to the final step and their reference

Codesmith's sister charity (OSLabs) that manages the projects, provides background check letters and reference checks to confirm your time. I have a video record of an employee saying that they will sign off on 'your entire time at Codesmith' under your "OS Labs work" and longer if you "kept working on your project". A sample letter I reviewed showed active work over 4 weeks, but the letter stated 3 months of experience.
