Dishonesty can hurt your credibility. “Still, every lie has it’s cost, Cohen says, and that’s just another factor that you have to consider. One key cost is credibility: Once a person finds out you lied, you lose currency in their eyes.” (NBCNEWS.com, 2006). This shows how one lie can cause people to not have trust in you. This also…

Deception is most successful when there is a grain of truth blended into the lie. If a large portion of the facts of a lie is perceived as true (or thought to be valid), individuals are more likely to explain away any inconsistencies as they emerge.
