assuming this isnt a work of fiction, i would say you are 100 percent correct.
i suspect it is a fake thing because if you look at the first puzzle, even if you dont see the "correct" and "incorrect" thing, almost any intelligent move for black wins on the spot. the instinctive move would be to play qxr, but most people who studied the situation first would have probably played r-d1.
i think most intelligent players would agree that it would take extremely bad play from black to lose the game or they deliberately lost. (perhaps they had gotten somebody to bet against them?)

It is not fake, it is a real game.
I put the wrong link for the original game in post 1; but now I edited.

Two puzzles.
The second one is a continuation of the game, because the opponent did not solve the first puzzle.
First: black to move:
Second puzzle: white to move.
