Isn't it under penalty of purjury?

Only in theory. If I remember correctly, the "penalty of perjury" is applied to only some small part of the claim, which makes it easy for all but the most blatantly malicious claims (and possibly even those) to get off scot free by claiming a honest mistake.

It's impossible for a victim to enforce this penalty, even if they hire a lawyer, in my experience.
