Puffed up or "embellished" resumes from PNM

I received a resume from a PNM who had asked me to write a recommendation for her. When I received it, I noticed that she had listed several activities and honors that were just not true.

For example, captain of a team of which she was never the captain. Several other leadership positions that I know she did not hold because I was involved in these activities and she did not hold these positions.

I emailed her parent (we are acquaintances - I do not have her phone number) to tell her I had some concerns about Suzy's resume. We are on several group emails together because of shared interests and I never heard back from her.

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and makes me wonder how common a practice this is.
