13 People Caught Lying On The Internet
People sometimes lie. It's just a universal part of the human experience. Even though you may not believe you're prone to lies, you've definitely said something less than truthful recently but chosen to bury the memory. Some people, however, will flaunt their lies, proud of the attention they get for them online. People readily make up anything from drama to facts that they believe will support their mindless arguments. Somehow, it's successful. But then, someone came along and called them out for it, and the results are so satisfying.
While we may never know the shame these people felt after being caught for lying, we would imagine they didn't take this very well, and now that we know the truth, we can cringe at the original posts. Sure, we've all lied a little, but we've never done something quite as awkward as this for attention. Take a look at some of our favorite times someone was caught lying online.
