I don't think you meant to write 'green card' there? At least, what you've written makes absolutely no sense as a description of how a green card might fraudulently be obtained.

PERM is an employment based green card that requires a labor market test. In my own experience, I’ve been part of fake job postings and interviews.

Effectively you put the persons role up as a job ad, then fail a few people in the interview and that’s all it takes for PERM.

They weren’t real interviews. The job postings wasn’t real. I interviewed people so someone on the team already could get a PERM.

How do you know they are fake?
