I got hired into a company but they want to run a background check through HireRight. I told them that I worked at a company from 2016-Feb 2022 that just went out of business. My father owned this company but they went out of business in 2016—he told me that he would lie for me and tell them that I’ve worked there from 2016-current and that they just went out of business a few weeks ago.
On the form, I did put his phone number down but there’s no website or anything any were, and I don’t have paystubs, W2, or other employment related information.
Will they just call him to verify or am I screwed?
