I used to work as a trade union officer representing people at disciplinaries. I've represented several people over the years who were sacked for lying on their CVs.
Not only did they lose their job, but they'll get a "sacked for gross misconduct" reference from that employer making it much more difficult to get another job. Those in regulated roles also ended up with gross misconduct records with the regulator, making it essentially impossible to work in that field again.
So no, it's not a risk free game.
