Lying About Competitions and Prizes on Social Media

Question
What is the ruling for someone who has a page on social media and posts competitions, but intends for no one to win, or enters a relative in the competition on the basis that they are the winner, and there is no prize at all?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: This is deception and lies, and it is not permissible, and God knows best.
