Not just the ones who pretend, but if you look around at the For Sale/Wanted section, you will see that there are a fair number of people who crop up and post ONLY when they have dogs available. When you research their posts, that's all there is. There aren't any "hey, look at my litter" pics in the nursery, no questions in the breeder sections, no helping in the sick/injured forum. Nothing but answering a post with "I have a pup available...I'll pm you with details".
Anyone looking for a pup needs to know that being on YT is NOT a stamp of approval, and that they need to examine every offer just as thoroughly as they would any other breeder.
