neither of those actually exist.

Are you talking about "The Riches?" Of course it's unethical. The whole concept of the show is unethical. They're thieves who stole a dead guy's identity. It is pretty interesting though.

It's 'way beyond unethical--it's a crime to misrepresent your qualifications for financial gain. The punishment can be years in a state or federal penitentiary. So don't even think about doing it.

Yes. It is unethical to lie on an application or to a friend.

Not only is it unethical, but it it illegal - technically, you are commiting FRAUD if you claim you are educated when you really aren't!

Yes and you can be charged yourself with fraudulently representing yourself.
