Legal Question in Business Law in Pennsylvania

make business look larger

i am looking to make my business look larger than it is. am i allowed to add names to my company for people that dont exist. for example, can i say-contact john doe, even though john doe doesnt exist, and the contact is routed to me?

wat about if i say on my website: contact our office in new york, and put up a new york phone number that is a virtual number and is routed to the same number as the pennsylvania office if the business does not have a location in new york?

legally, is there anything wrong with these two things?
