No, but under 320(11) of the Immigration Rules it could be seen as deception if the job offer is not genuine and used to obtain a Spouse visa.

Regarding the offer of employment, you may want to consider this from the official guidance for Entry Clearance Officers:

x. Caseworkers have discretion to make further enquiries or request further information
or evidence if the financial requirement appears to be met, but where they have
concerns about the credibility of the information or evidence submitted and require
further information or evidence in order to make a properly evidenced decision on the
application. Under GEN.1.5 of Appendix FM, where caseworkers have reasonable
cause to doubt the genuineness of any document submitted in support of an
application and, having taken reasonable steps to verify the document, are unable to
verify that it is genuine, the document will be discounted for the purposes of the
application.
