What a crappy worldview that is, and while it may have been true in the past, times have changed, and it no longer is the case. People can and will expose and report fraud rather immediately.
If you don't think plenty of liars get away with repeatedly lying to the same people, then you aren't paying much attention to the real world around you.
Yes, some people will notice that they have been lied to the first time, and some of them will report it if that is something along the lines of fraud.
Let me sum it up by saying that those who reject the truth have far shorter lives than those who accept it.
Even if that is true, that’s a very different thing. "Lying" and "rejecting the truth" are not the same thing.
Those whose self-lies make them confident in their decisions, have a bias towards taking risks that they don't even realise are risks, and that absolutely can pay off massively — see e.g. every lottery winner. Such confidence is also a way to get public support, and directly cause success, seen with various (but not all) politicians.

To reject the truth is to lie to oneself.
Those who lie to themselves, usually do badly.
Usually, not always.
