Should I create a fake order on oDesk to get a rating?

I may be a loser, but almost all the customers on Odessa ignore me. For a month I found only one customer, and he disappeared without a trace (however, $ 200 was farmed). Plus, my specialization is not PHP and not even ASP.NET, that is, the choice is very limited.
There are urges to scroll through a fake order in order to give yourself time and leave a good review and rating. In this regard, questions:
1) Is this idea crazy or does it have the right to exist? Will customers pay more attention if there are ratings and reviews?
2) ODesk will not be offended by such a disgrace if he suddenly sniffs out? On the one hand, he is paid a commission, that is, the pleasure is not free. On the other hand, it's cheating. I didn't find any guidance on this in the rules.

1) Has the right, like any deception.
2) I don't think he cares.
Do it and don't shout about it at all corners.

1. It's important to have reviews. To get them, you can agree to a very simple and cheap job. The main thing is to get a couple of reviews.
2. It is important to be the first (one of the first). I speak as a freelancer with 3 years of experience and as a freelance client with a ton of projects.
3. It is important to be polite and not to be familiar. Clients are different - most will not even say hello to you, but this does not mean that you need to be the same.
4. Well, a portfolio, of course. Zero chance without it.
