Can you fake work experience successfully?

Someone is claiming to have years of experience as an IT analyst but i know they didnt have that job and were struggling. They did have their own business for at least most of that time but it had nothing to do with IT.
However they are claiming to have worked for a very well known, nationwide company. How are they able to fake this on a resume or on linkedin. Is it as simple as if they know someone from that company they can use them as a reference. I thought other companies can actually verify your employment history, salary, and more.

Because if someone can just pay to have a degree listed on their resume that’s ridiculous.
Now there is a dancer claiming to have 5 years of business analyst experience on linkedin… at a medium sized but still national company. Why/how would someone put that on a linkedin if theyve only been dancing during that time?! I assume these other companies would do at least some basic checking into someone’s employment history but i dont know. I was also wondering maybe if you’re personal friends with say a manager at an accounting firm could they somehow alter the company records or somehow show you as having worked at that company for years even if you never did?
