Working with SAP since 1994 I've seen so much resume fraud that it is long past time that companies started pushing back on some of the fakes. I can't tell you how many resumes I have received from early-mid 20 somethings that show 8-10 years of SAP experience. So, let's see, they started their SAP consulting career in Fortune 1000 companies at 12 - 16 years old?
Mostly I see this from H1B's, they seem to have no qualms with not just exaggerated experience but completely and totally fabricted experience. Whole resumes that are complete and total frauds.
I think companies are starting to get smarter in the tech space and demanding more senior level resources because they are tired of being ripped off.
This article catalogs some of my experiences:

For me, when I do project management on some SAP projects, or when I try to staff for some of my existing clients I am fed up with wasting my time with all of the fake resumes.
