Something that is obviously fake or otherwise different (like the image or frame break-out examples) would also be fine.
But leading someone to believe they have correct data when what they have is potentially embarrassing when used could be something they'd take objection to. Even if not there are two other points of risk: your reputation if something goes wrong and you accidentally give bad data to your paying clients and your reputation if someone, paying or otherwise, shows off the bad data as "the sort crap these people try to sell".
I don't have any specific references, but it is something I would be careful of as there have certainly been similarly ludicrous (IMO) cases on unrelated matters in the past (yes the right side would win, assuming they can afford to).
I may be being too cynical here, then again maybe not...
I did misread the grand-parent post though and this isn't what he was talking about. He was suggesting the bogus data was the message, and I read it as handing out fake data for the scraper along with the message to be seen should a human be looking.
