That would be a hoax. FFs are real attacks that are designed to look as if someone one other than the perpetrator was responsible. The name comes from the days of privateers when one monarch would hire mercenaries to raise the flag of a different monarch and then attack their rivals in order to blame it on someone else.
I think you need to reread what I said. A False Flag is specifically a real attack that is carried out and then blamed on a party other than the actual perpetrator. If it didn't happen at all then it's just a hoax. Terms have meanings.

Thank you for explaining this.
This is a false flag, it's made to look like something it's not. It's not real. A hoax? Yeah, I guess you could call it that as well.
