The overwhelming majority will lie and weasel and slither and squirm about anything that will help them make more money. This is very very normal in most walks of life involving a cash transaction of any kind.
Examine the way people behave in a job interview versus their long term work performance. People are deceitful motherfuckers when it comes to securing money.
There are maybe 2 people on this planet I wouldn't gleefully lie to at work if I thought I could turn the lie into more money than I could extract if I weren't lying, and I was relatively sure I wouldn't get caught, thereby damaging or worse yet destroying my opportunity to generate still more money.
What can I say, I just love people. I'm like a people person.
