Can you put fake achievements/awards in your resume?

I noticed that when I googled many of my colleagues awards that they got for some contest, I could not find either the competition, their name listed, or the project listed. I assume that some contest holders don't keep a database of past participants. What's to stop me or someone else from making up some contest or putting himself as a first place winner to pad a resume?
