Sometimes, they resort to outright deception... like in the case of Oceane El Himer

The French influencer recently posted a pic from the business class section of an airplane

A co-passenger later spotted her in economy class

Oceane soon shared another pic from business class and wrote: "This time I promise I paid."

"I used an app called Quickshot when the sky is burned or overexposed," she explained after being called out

Meanwhile, this Instagrammer was stabbed in the back (metaphorically, of course) by her own sister

Casey Sosnowski implied in her post that this pic was clicked when she went hiking

Her sister Carly revealed it was actually taken in their backyard

Even a casual observer could note how heavily Photoshopped her pics were

In some, she appeared to be floating on air

In others,  her figure was clearly superimposed over different  backgrounds
