Do people lie about their experience in tech?

I am just curious and want to know do people tend to lie about their experience. I often see people with ton of experience of the tech that is quite new.

I never lied about my experience, but usually I tell everything I ever done. Even things that might not be relevant, for example, I work as a backend developer with PHP, but I told on my interview that I worked frontend and what frameworks and tools I used, I also told them that at a time I did some chrome plugins, python developement and so on...even that they were interested in backend technologies only, mainly PHP.
