Is it permissible to work for an employer who vouched for me with information he does not know about me, and is the money earned from this work lawful?

Your salary is permissible—God willing—if you perform your work as required, because it is in exchange for a service you render in a permissible benefit. Money earned from permissible work is permissible, even if you and those who assisted you in lying and endorsing are sinful.
