put-up
Staged, not genuine
Put-up describes something prearranged or contrived, typically to deceive.
A put-up job is a scheme planned in advance to appear spontaneous or legitimate: The whole robbery was a put-up job—the security guard was in on it.
The term implies collusion and fraud, suggesting events were staged rather than genuine.
