What this person is doing falls under forbidden lying, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Beware of lying, for lying leads to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Hellfire. And a man continues to lie and strives to lie until he is written as a great liar with Allah." The sin increases if he swears falsely in buying or selling, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There are three whom Allah will not speak to, nor look at, and they will have a painful torment... the one who drags his garment out of conceit, the one who reminds others of his favors, and the one who sells his goods by false oath."
