There will be cake for readers at the bottom of this page.
A character, usually an antagonist, promises another character, usually the hero, a reward if they can complete some task for them. This can be anything from fame, to riches, to anything to do with a Love Interest, to frosted desserts, or pretty much anything generally considered desirable.
But wait! "I Lied." It turns out that there is no reward! Upon either finding this out or completing the task, it's discovered that the villain simply wanted something to be done for them, and now plans to dispose of the hero now that their usefulness to the villain has ended. At this point the villain may taunt the hero about their foolish trust.
Often a crucial part of many a Macguffin Delivery Service. May make use of False Reassurance. Sometimes employed by a Mission Control that is off its meds. The "cake" may consist of a promised Body Upgrade.
When the other character isn't necessarily evil, doesn't plan on hurting the hero, and simply raises their standards whenever the other character comes near to completion, this becomes Moving the Goalposts. Compare Deal with the Devil, Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves, You Said You Would Let Them Go, Released to Elsewhere. Contrast Villains Never Lie. May double as Schmuck Bait if the lackey never had a logical reason to expect cake in the first place. See also Doom as Test Prize, when there is a reward at the end... just one you really don't want.
Only overlaps with I Was Told There Would Be Cake when the reward the villain promises is actually cake.
Caution: Since this trope involves plot twists, spoilers may be left unmarked.

Five Nights at Freddy's has a very literal example of this. It's implied heavily that the killer was able to lure his unfortunate child victims into a windowless, camera-less back room by dressing up in a mascot costume and promising the kids cake and pizza if they follow him, meaning the promise he made and then didn't follow through with was literally cake.

Averted in the Portal level of LEGO Dimensions, possibly due to the Trope Naming line becoming a Discredited Meme. Not only does the cake exist, but it's an important part of the foundation of the entire multiverse. The free-roaming Portal Adventure World has a Quest in which a minifigure adept at technologyexamples The Doctor from Doctor Who, Doc Brown from Back to the Future, Benny from The LEGO Movie can help the Cake Core bake a new cake...though the use of "fish-shaped solid waste" as an ingredient makes one wonder if it actually seems edible.
In the Portal 2 level, you can, of course, find Doug Ratman's (in)famous "The Cake Is A Lie" graffiti... but instead of trailing off ominously it ends with "The cake is in the kitchen on floor 2."

Ranma ½:
When Cologne first appears, she traps Ranma in her female form via a special pressure point that makes her unable to stand any sort of heat, including hot water. Eventually she reveals she has a special pill that can cure Ranma of her affliction, but the only way to even get it would be to master a speed based attack. Ranma ultimately is able to do so and succeeds in getting the pill from Cologne, only for Cologne to reveal that at the last minute that she'd substituted the real pill for a candy drop.
The three-legged race story involves a race with the prize being a trip to China. It was a race through crazy obstacles no one could possibly get through, in short, it was meant to be unwinnable. To the organizers’ shock, they underestimated the tenacity of the Nerima Wrecking Crew since to them, the stakes were very high. They then try to sabotage the last remaining contestants to prevent any of them winning to get out of honoring the China trip prize.

Subverted in an arc of the Namor comic from The '90s. The Super-Skrull promises Ward Meachum "the most beautiful woman in the galaxy" to betray his species. Ward accepts, but when somebody points out to him, "Even if the Skrull was going to keep his promise, what's beautiful to a reptilian alien?" he turns on the Super-Skrull, accusing the latter of betrayal. Kl'rt insists he hasn't done anything of the sort, but an enraged Ward isn't listening and the Super-Skrull kills him before he destroys a vital piece of equipment. Then we see a beautiful Skrull woman waiting to be given away to some lowly human (out of love for the Super-Skrull). The Fridge Logic is, Skrulls are shapeshifters. Kl'rt could send the ugliest woman, and she could change into the most beautiful.

The Simpsons:
Kamp Krusty turns out to be a dangerously unsafe hellhole where the campers are forced into indentured labor. Bart only holds on to his sanity due to the promise that Krusty the Klown will eventually visit them. When "Krusty" turns out to be Barney Gumble in a terrible costume Bart finally snaps. He leads the other kids in revolting against the counsellors and taking over the facility.
Used in the episode "Whacking Day". On the same day that Superintendent Chalmers is due to visit the school for an inspection, Principal Skinner curiously announces via the intercom that the five most unruly boys in the school, including Bart, have inexplicably been awarded free mountain bikes, which they are to collect from a utility room in the basement. Skinner shuts them in and locks the door, revealing what should have been obvious all along: it was just a ploy to get them out the way for the inspection (even then, Nelson asks "when are we gonna get our mountain bikes?"). Becomes a Brick Joke at the end of the episode, when Skinner suddenly realizes that all of the boys except Bart are still locked in the room; he and Willie rush to the school with a collection of mountain bikes, hoping to trade them for their silence.
Bikes—in fact, hover bikes!—are used again in "The Joy of Sect," when Marge tries to cure the kids from the Movementarians' brainwashing.

The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea: Morgana wants vengeance on Ariel and Eric for killing her sister Ursula by killing their daughter Melody and taking over the sea. After being withheld from the sea without being told the reason, Melody runs away from home after an argument with Ariel about the issue, and goes out to sea in a boat, at which point Morgana lures her to her lair, where she uses some of Ursula's magic to temporarily turn her into a mermaid and promises that if she retrieves her stolen trident in Atlantica (actually King Triton's, as the audience knows), she will use it to make her a permanent mermaid. When she does so, not only does she not honor her agreement, but she imprisons her in a cave for her to drown when her mermaid transformation wears off.

In a Mr. Show sketch, John goes off to meet his friends, under the impression they set him up on a blind date. They just wanted him to come to an intervention for another friend of theirs. He claims "You don't have to trick me, you're my friends." It turns out they pull this trope on him every time they have an intervention. Interestingly enough, he gets increasingly angrier the further back in time they flashback to.

In Ōban Star-Racers: It's the entire premise and the biggest plot twist. Every 10,000 years, teams from all over the galaxy are gathered to compete in the Great Race of ÅŒban. According to legend, the winner is awarded the Ultimate Prize, which is rumored to grant any wish; from large-scale destruction to, perhaps, the resurrection of a loved one. However, the true nature of the Prize is not what it appears to be. As it turns out, the prize was to be the next Avatar. The Creators of ÅŒban were an ancient race who were almost wiped out by one of their own who turned Evil. And in order to maintain the evil one, ÅŒban and the universe, a new Avatar is chosen every 10,000 years. This revelation chattered the dreams of everyone who knew about the prize's true nature.

In Oblivion (2013), Earth is devastated by alien invaders, and survivors have taken refuge on the saturnian moon of Titan. Jack and Victoria are technicians monitoring and repairing various machinery being used by a salvage operation administrated by a massive space station called "The Tet" (due to it being roughly a tetrahedron in shape). They're constantly dealing with stragglers of the alien invaders called "Scavs". They have two weeks to go before they're done with their stint and are off to Titan themselves. There is no colony on Titan. The Tet is the alien invader, and plans on disposing of the two. The remaining "Scavs" are actually remmants of humanity. And Jack and Victoria are clones of two crewmembers of a manned international mission to Titan who were intercepted by the Tet before the invasion and used as a clone army whose original memories are lost in oblivion.

In Attack on Titan, the nation of Marley uses the promise of full citizenship to lure Eldians into volunteering their children for military service in the Warrior Program. These children are raised to be fanatically loyal to Marley, and believe that if they can prove their loyalty and rack up enough military achievements, their kinsmen still living in the ghettos will be given better treatment or even freed someday. This is a complete lie, of course. Marley leverages their families to keep the Warriors in line, and uses them as disposable resources. Once their usefulness as a military asset comes to an end, Marley intends to answer the Eldian Question by exterminating them all.

Subverted in the second issue of The Batman Adventures, the animated Batman spin-off comic from the 1990s. The Joker hijacks a cable television outlet and uses it to broadcast himself onto a closed-circuit TV set delivered to Selina Kyle's apartment. After revealing that he knows Selina is Catwoman, Joker tells her that he has concocted a foolproof plan for stealing the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London, and asks her if she'd like to attempt the feat. Selina, who relishes this ultimate test of her burglary skills, still feels suspicious, even asking Joker, "What's the catch?" Turns out, Joker also wants her to snatch something else for him while she's in London (we're never told exactly what this is, but it's apparently microcircuitry or something similarly electronic). Once Selina has heard all the details, she goes through with Joker's plan—but Batman outsmarts her and manages to prevent her from swiping the jewels, and Catwoman barely escapes capture. She does, however, manage to acquire the technology Joker requested, and sends it to him at the end of the comic. (In the next issue, it's finally revealed that whatever Joker had Catwoman steal for him allows him to override every other TV station in Gotham City, so that he can broadcast his sadistic variety show on every channel.) But even though Catwoman didn't get what she wanted, Joker didn't care: she managed to get him on TV, and whether or not she also got the Crown Jewels was irrelevant.
As one of the more sympathetic villains in Batman's Rogues Gallery, Catwoman tends to have this happen to her from time to time. In Batman: Hush, the trope is double-subverted when Poison Ivy puts her under a love spell in order to make her a slave for one of her schemes. Catwoman does get her...uh, "cake" - but in this case it is something she did not desire, never asked for, and is very angry about receiving once she breaks free of the mind-control.

Muse agrees and boards the ship while the lifeboat is towed, and by the time the pirates realize that they're being screwed, they have reached gunpoint range and and shot to death by the Seals, whom take Phillips on board to safety and have the captain brought to America to face trial for his crimes.

Something of a variation in season six of Supernatural. The angel Castiel makes a deal with the demon Crowley, the agreement being that the two of them would work together to open Purgatory to harness the power of the souls there, and each would then receive half of whatever souls were found. Crowley does most of the actual work/research towards getting to Purgatory, while his partner essentially provides protection for him during his machinations. When the plan is nearing completion, however, Castiel decides that giving a demon access to that much Soul Power would be stupid, and revokes the agreement (though it's never confirmed whether this was the plan all along, or if it was a last-minute decision), denying Crowley his share of the souls. This does not end well. For Crowley.

Discovered at the very end of The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World. The four had been told by the gods that if they were part of the Power Group that brought the Black Tower down, they would get their hearts' desires, which mostly meant being able to take their magic home with them under the most favorable conditions possible. They were also told that even if they weren't part of the right group, if the Black Tower fell they would at least be sent home. However, they discover they're actually in a giant telepathic MMORPG and every single thing they were told was a lie. Jeft is actually going to use them in other games if they prove suitable, or abandon them on C'hou if not. Revenge will ensue in Keys: The Hard World.

In Liar Game, during the Contraband game, Yokoya enforces a point-based loyalty scheme to guarantee loyalty from the members of his team that they would spy on the other members and report any dishonesty to him, where he would give more money to the snitch. Fukunaga suspects that Yokoya didn't even keep count; he just wanted the members to feed him as much information of the others as possible.

In Nacho Libre, Ignacio and his wrestling partner Steven seek a guru for advice on winning matches. The guru tells them to climb a cliff to an eagle's nest, break open an egg and drink its yolk which contains powerful nutrients. After doing so, they lose their next match anyway.

In Exalted the Silver Prince created a religion around the fact that everyone turns into a ghost after death and reincarnate, but some people stay behind to help the living. The truth is that most ghosts are dragged off to a secret island where they are forged into soulsteel which is used to build giant warships, while anyone considered important or useful in some way to the Silver Prince's plans is left behind to keep the lie going until he has enough warships built to destroy all of Creation.

Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells: Goddess Vysis promises the group that they will be sent back home, if they can prove they killed the Demon King by collecting a certain jewel that can only be done with said demon's death. After several casualties caused by "training accidents," and the fact that Mimori was "disposed of," they slowly, but surely, starts to wonder if she will follow through with her promise, even if they do manage to defeat the Demon King and get said jewel.

This backfires when Kenshi kicks all his men's asses and escapes, the betrayal galvanizing him to join Lashara.

This occurs to Lina Inverse in the first Slayers movie. The character in question isn't evil and doesn't plan on hurting Lina per se, but it's definitely not a case of Moving The Goalposts. Needing Lina to risk her life by going back in time hundreds of years in order to save a much younger version of himself, his love, and a group of elves from a mazoku, the elderly ghost of an adventurer promises Lina to show her the location of "the fountain of growth", which she interprets, and is led on to believe, will finally make her tall, curvy, and stacked. In reality, the ghost has lied, and the fountain in question is the reverse of the fountain of youth, aging things that touch its waters to death, making Lina's trials and tribulations completely meaningless (in her eyes). However, since Lina was particularly dumb for believing him, and since he's really the ancestor of her (not-yet-encountered-yet-at-the-time) love and life-long partner Gourry, it worked out in her favor anyways.

101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure: Thunderbolt is convinced by his co star Lil-Lightning that he needs to do some heroic work in order prove he's still a capable host in order to retain his position on his show (Lightning in actuality was attempting to get him to leave the studio so he could take his place on the show) but is hopeless without someone to guide him. So he tricks his avid fan Patch into helping remind him of his heroic antics on the show under the guise that it is a "junior deputy test" to see if he's capable of starring in the series with him (as Patch believes that all of the heroic stuff Thunderbolt does on the show is real). When the two of them get captured while attempting to rescue the other puppies from Cruella, Lightning cruelly reveals Thunderbolt's true intentions to Patch, to which Thunderbolt sadly confirms, much to Patch's dismay.

In Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless, Princess Camilla Resenberg promises Kento, the protagonist, a place in her army of conscripts if he survives making it across a dangerous forest, that she shoved him into at sword-point, to an allied border fortress. Not only was the fortress in question in another country, and thus not an ally, the forest itself is home to many different species of monsters. Naturally, she never expected him to survive even if he somehow made it to the other side. For the rest of the class, she promised to reward and repatriate them if they managed to do their job as soldiers well enough, after she tricked them into putting on slave-bracelets. Turns out she never planned to keep that promise either. In fact, the repatriation spell doesn't even exist. When Kento found out, he nearly killed Camilla on the spot, only sparing her because his own undead summons stopped him.

Arthur: In "Around the World in 11 Minutes", Francine's cat Nemo offers Pal a lamb chop if Pal, Amigo, Kate, and Mei-Lin can successfully circumnavigate the globe in 11 minutes. The dogs and travelers accept the challenge, going to Italy first. After a sawed-through tree branch falls on their car, they continue on towards Egypt and then China. Just as they are about to head for home, their hot-air balloon has been sabotaged, and so they catch a plane, with Nemo stowing away. By the time they make it back and are ready to claim their prize, Nemo has already eaten the lamb chop. Pal, Amigo, Kate, and Mei-Lin mention that going on the journey was a prize in itself.

In Power Girl (Issue #12 to be exact), super-villainess Satanna wants Mad Scientist Dr. Sivana to make her a super-weapon to kill Power Girl (Kryptonians being rather hard to kill). Sivana wants some bouncy-bouncy in exchange. Despite her disgust, Satanna complies, and afterwards Sivana points out that they are both "bad guys," and as long as he got his, he doesn't care that she doesn't get anything. So not only has she debased herself for nothing, he adds injury to insult by making his robots beat her up and throw her out of a fourth-story window. So not only is Sivana a complete pig, he's made Satanna's list—he'll be showing up in revenge-oriented tropes in the near future.

The Collector does this in Demon Knight, enticing one of the heroes to the evil side with promises that include a bunch of hot dancing women. The Collector congratulates him on his wise choice, and...
The Collector does this to everyone who listens to him. Another character agrees to betray the others and removes the barrier keeping the demons at bay in exchange for his own freedom. As he is about to leave, the Collector admits he lied, and the demons tear the guy apart.
The Collector gets to people by promising them things such as love and friendship. Inevitably, the only thing they get is Demonic Possession.

In the Gunslinger comic, one of the villains ask an addict for information on the heroes, implying that they will give him "metal" in exchange. After they are finished, the addict asks if he is getting gold or silver, the villain replies 'lead' and shoots him.

Devotion: When you start the game, you're told to complete puzzles in three rooms (representing your apartment in three different years) to reach the 'Flawless Present'. When you finally do, you find out that you can't reach it, because the Flawless Present doesn't exist. The protagonist ruined any chance for it existing by listening to Mentor Hueh and becoming abusive to his family, and the game is his attempt to stay in denial of what his own mistakes had cost him.

The premise of The Office (US) episode "Scott's Tots." Michael made a promise to send some kids to college, but by the time they graduated high school he reneged on said promise. In this case, Michael had ridiculously optimistic expectations about what his life would be like by the time the kids graduated, so it wasn't an intentional lie.

30 Rock: Jenna Maroney herself served as the million-point prize for collectors of "Surge Points" in late 90s commercial—clearly meant in context to be a joke by the advertiser. An obsessed fan who had collected the points for 15 years showed up and demanded Jenna as a slave; Jack got her out of it by pointing out the ravages of depreciation on an aging c-list actress and calculating her actual value as $2,000. The fan took the money, saying back home in Arizona that much would buy him "a castle and a pillowcase full of meth." (Loosely based on a few Real Life incidents.)

In Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee, the world of Amberground is lit by an artificial sun and divided into three districts- Akatsuki, the capital and the area closest to the sun; Yuusari, the middle-class district in the center; and Yodaka, the dark and poor outermost lands. Travel between these districts is restricted, and the citizens of Amberground seek to become worthy of entering the capital. Unfortunately, those who enter the capital have their hearts fed to the artificial sun, a realization that breaks Garrard, a man who'd earned the right to enter the capital and had hoped to become Head Bee.

This is the ending for Shadowrun Returns. The protagonist's old partner promises a reward for solving his murder. That reward is a lie. Zigzagged. Through sheer serendipity, unraveling the convoluted plot behind the murder involves working with a megacorp's president who coincidentally rewards the original amount your old partner promised. Although your partner may have lied about the reward, you wind up getting it anyway.

The Elder Scrolls:
In Morrowind, you may stumble upon a woman in the wilderness who has dropped her ring into a small pond below. She implies that she'll be, eh-hem, sexually grateful if you retrieve it for her. However, as soon as you find the ring, she and her invisible archer friend will attempt to rob you from the high ground.
Similarly, in Oblivion, a mage offers to recommend you for membership to the Arcane University if you retrieve his magical Ring of Burden from the bottom of a well. Turns out he was just hoping you'd drown while down there.

Wadjda: Wadjda wants a bicycle, so she joins a Koran competition so she can win the 1000 Saudi riyal that will enable her to buy one. She wins, but when she makes the mistake of admitting that she wants to buy a bicycle, the bitchy fundamentalist headmistress donates her prize to the Palestinians instead.

There was a Rugrats comic story where Chuckie had all but one of the collectible Reptar cards, and Angelica claimed she would give him the one he was missing if he performed a series of chores for her. When he finished them all, it turned out the card she gave him was a phony drawing.

Mackenzie Zales pulls this on Deandra in The Most Popular Girls in School by sending her a text about pie in order to learn more about the Atchison Cheer Squad (Deandra having transferred from Atchison). Deandra's livid, especially when Mackenzie claims she never actually said she had pie to which Deandra pulls out her phone with a text message featuring a pie emoji and the words "Want some?" Two seasons later, Deandra's still sore when Mackenzie pulls this again only this time Mackenzie had an actual slice of pie to give.

The Fairly OddParents!: In "The Big Bash", Timmy and Remy compete in a time traveling scavenger hunt held by Cupid for items such as the largest egg and banana ever, a pot of Irish gold, The Grand Treasure of the Peruvian Pyramid from Ancient Peru, etc., the grand prize being thirty seconds of rule free wishes, which Remy intends to use to wish away Cosmo and Wanda. However, when both boys come in a tie, Cupid reveals that he lied about the rule free wish period and that the entire scavenger was actually just his grocery shopping (with the items such as the pot of gold being a pot of Irish gold potatoes and The Grand Treasure of the Peruvian Pyramid merely being Peruvian coffee beans). The boys declare a truce and wish up all of the obstacles they encountered during the scavenger hunt to whoop Cupid's ass.

Kindergarten Cop: John Kimble goes undercover in a school to locate the ex-wife of a crazed drug dealer, believing she stole $3 million from him, this making her a valuable witness against her ex-husband. Turns out she never stole anything: the drug dealer told these stories so people would track down his ex-wife and reunite him with his son.

In Chicken Run: Rocky needs to see that the chickens start getting results with his flying lessons, so he makes a deal with the rats Nick and Fetcher to bring him items to make it appear that the chickens are making progress in exchange for every egg he lays for the month. When Ginger calls him out on deceiving the rats, Rocky casually insists that he never lied to them, and he will give them what he promised...it's just that what he promised them specifically was nothing.

In Invader Zim, the skool has a fundraiser, with a "secret prize" for whomever sells the most candy. Zim, sure that this is something amazing which will help him Take Over the World, manages to win through screaming threats and borderline mind control. However, Ms. Bitters then informs him that the prize was just made up to motivate kids to sell more, and offers him a can of tuna in consolation. The episode ends with Zim's Skyward Scream. Interestingly, the crummy lesser prizes were real, so technically Dib came out ahead.

The Princess Bride: Domingo Montoya, Inigo's father, was once hired to craft a rare sword for a mysterious six-fingered man. When the job was done, the six-fingered man was only willing to pay a tenth of the agreed-upon price. Predictably, Domingo refused the sale, and the six-fingered man murdered him for it, prompting Inigo to seek revenge.

In Cloud Atlas, the Fabricant underclass of 22nd century Korea all work in the hope that, at the end of their period of service, they will be rewarded with Exaltation and allowed to retire in peace. Newly-eligible Fabricants are even given a lavish ceremony, complete with stunning white robes, heavenly choirs, and a personal escort to the ship that will carry them off to their new home. In reality, the ship is essentially a floating abattoir: the moment Fabricants take their seats on board, they are promptly executed via cattle gun, before being unceremoniously decapitated, flayed, and rendered down into recyclable biomatter. This biomatter, by the way, is either used in the creation of more Fabricants, or to make Soap - the only food that Fabricants are allowed.

However, as the game progresses it becomes obvious that there is something terribly off with that promise.

In SpongeBob SquarePants:
In "I'm Your Biggest Fanatic", SpongeBob wants to join a jellyfishing club held by his idol, Kevin the sea-cucumber. Kevin agrees to allow them to join them on a jellyfishing expedition and says that if he proves his worth he'll be allowed in the club, but in actuality just wants to see SpongeBob continuously get stung throughout the whole ordeal and run home crying for his own amusement. While SpongeBob succeeds flawlessly with all of the tests (with Kevin being the one continuously hurt), when he reaches his final test of catching a queen jellyfish, he and the other members prank SpongeBob by flying around in a giant robotic queen jellyfish bent on finishing him off. After which, they reveal their true intentions and mock SpongeBob for actually thinking they'd let him join their club.
In "Band Geeks", Squidward invites the town to become his marching band, with his ads promising free refreshments. On their first night, after Squidward makes a lame joke that earns no laughter from his bandmates, Mr. Krabs asks when they will get the free food. Squidward doesn't reply.
In "Moving Bubble Bass", Spongebob and Patrick are offered lunch if they agree to move Bubble Bass' furniture from his basement to his new apartment. By the time Spongebob and Patrick have finished moving the furniture, Bubble Bass claims he got so tired and hungry that he ate the lunch by himself. After Spongebob and Pat give Bubble Bass a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, the last laugh is on Bubble Bass: Spongebob and Patrick wrecked Bubble Bass' furniture and collectibles as well as packing up Bubble Bass' mom, who nags him as she drags him back home. Given Bubble Bass' gluttony and conning the pair into doing all the hard work for him, he almost certainly never truly intended to give them the free lunch.

When he does so and asks whose team he's on, Rock pushes him into the mud and mockingly says "nobody's" before running off with his gang to play without Peter. He tries this again at the end of the episode, but Peter is not fooled this time.

Doctor Who:
"Yes, I lied, it's a jammy dodger. But I was promised tea!"
Rule #1: The Doctor lies.
In the two-parter "The Sontaran Strategem"/"The Poison Sky", the Sontarans attempt to wipe out humanity by altering the atmosphere, and seek out the aid of Teen Genius Luke Rattigan so that they can covertly enact this scheme via a device fitted in cars supposedly to suppress carbon emissions. Luke helps them due to the alienation his brilliance invites, and is seduced with the promise of a new planet dubbed "Castor-36" that he and other young geniuses in the academy he set up can inhabit.note Luke dubbed it Earth.2, and more vainly, "Luke's World", though he was possibly joking. Once Luke gives the offer to them, they refuse, and upon returning to Sontarans, the general admits he was yanking his chain with that whole "Castor-36" thing, and would've had him and the whole group killed the moment they arrived on their ship. Indeed, Luke barely escapes with his life shortly after learning this.

Yu-Gi-Oh!:
In the Battle City arc, Arcana, one of Marik's servant's, is promised a reunion with his lost love upon fulfillment of a mission; Marik even put a mannequin shrouded by curtains in the room to persuade him. He fails his mission, and the last thing he sees before Marik kills him is that he never intended to keep his end of the deal. To make it even worse for Arcana, Yugi continually told him during the duel that this was likely the case. Arcana actually seemed to have doubts once or twice, but never enough to truly believe him until the end.
Noah Kaiba recruits the Big Five by promising to allow them to take over the bodies of the heroes if they can defeat them in duels so they can escape the virtual world. When the Big Five are all defeated, Noah deletes them, but not before laughing at them and revealing he never intended to give them bodies or let them leave the virtual world.

When Figg points out that they don't actually have a million dollars (since they have been cut off from Robyn's father's fortune until she is recovered), Lickboot smugly points out that that's what makes it so sleazy. Figg applauds his craftiness.

In Gothic, at the Free Mine, there's a guy named Baloro who will give you a quest to get him some food for a party. In return, he promises you a weapon that can kill anything. By this point, you probably know better how things work at the Colony... but if you are used to more "traditional" RPGs, you think quest=reward, especially since this particular quest is even named "Baloro's Weapon"; so you go all over the valley searching for the items he ordered — some of them surprisingly hard to find. Of course, when you deliver the goods and ask for the weapon, he just mocks you for your troubles and gives you nothing, not even some Ore. The bastard doesn't even invite you to the party! Oh, well, at least it was worth the experience... 300 XP, to be precise.

Happens from time to time in Aesop's Fables:
In "The Lion in Love" a lion falls in love with a young woman and asks for her father's blessing to marry her. The father, knowing it would be very foolish to say no to a lion, says he will consent if he agrees to have his claws and teeth removed so that he does not accidentally hurt her. The lion agrees, but after this is done, the father merely drives the neutralized lion away.
In "The Wolf and the Crane": A wolf has a chicken bone lodged in his throat and says that he'll reward a crane handsomely if he sticks his lone beak down his throat and removes it. When the crane does so and asks for his reward, the wolf says that allowing him to stick his head into his mouth without biting it off was just that.

In Heavy Object, Elites are scouted as children and will usually spend the rest of their life piloting Objects. Legitimacy Kingdom Elites have the option of retiring to a civilian life, but must first meet the requirements of the Civilian Acclimation Assistance System to prove they are capable of functioning outside of combat. However, the training and modifications needed to prepare an Elite are so massively expensive and time-consuming that the military has no intention of letting any resignation be accepted. As such, the final interview of the System will always end in a rejection.

In the South Park episode "The Wacky Molestation Adventure", Kyle's parents tell him that he can only go to a concert by a band named Raging Pussy if he cleans out the garage, shovels the driveway and brings democracy to Cuba. Kyle does all of these things, but they still renege, explain that that was supposed to be an impossible chore and, to their credit, admit that lying was probably a bad parenting move. Kyle responds by having them falsely arrested for child molestation, which kicks off the main plot of the episode.
Similar to the "punch and pie" example above, the boys offer a free hat to anyone who will attend their rally against unnecessary edits of Star Wars. They don't make enough hats, though the phrase "Free Hat" is misconstrued by a huge group of people who want to see convicted baby murderer Hat McCullough freed from prison.

Portal: Trope Namer ("THE CAKE IS A LIE" being written on walls in various places by Doug Rattmann, an employee turned test subject). Note that there actually was cake—it just wasn't for you.
Moreover, note the wording by GlaDOS: "There will be cake" (and similar vague statements, like "cake will be served" and "cake ... will be available"). It's not until later (when her lies become more transparent) does GLaDOS suggest that Chell will be the one to eat it ("Okay, the test is over now. You win! Go back to the recovery annex for your cake.")
Averted in the Portal level of LEGO Dimensions, possibly due to the Trope Naming line becoming a Discredited Meme. Not only does the cake exist, but it's an important part of the foundation of the entire multiverse. The free-roaming Portal Adventure World has a Quest in which a minifigure adept at technologyexamples The Doctor from Doctor Who, Doc Brown from Back to the Future, Benny from The LEGO Movie can help the Cake Core bake a new cake...though the use of "fish-shaped solid waste" as an ingredient makes one wonder if it actually seems edible.
In the Portal 2 level, you can, of course, find Doug Ratman's (in)famous "The Cake Is A Lie" graffiti... but instead of trailing off ominously it ends with "The cake is in the kitchen on floor 2."

Madam Secretary: Trying to get a deceased Iranian spy's flash drive from Turkey after a CIA extraordinary rendition attempt on the Iranian blows up in their faces, Liz negotiates a deal for the Turks to buy US natural gas at discount prices. The Turkish foreign minister then gives the flash drive to the Iranians in defiance of the deal, which he can get away with because that part of the deal was never written down. Fortunately the Iranian foreign minister then gives the drive to Liz anyway.

Subverted in Mercenaries. You're offered a reward of one million dollars by Sergei to escort his lieutenant, Josef, to a meeting late in the game. Both you and Josef can tell that it's an obvious trap. Once you get to the meeting and successfully protect Josef, he takes over the Russian Mafia from Sergei and pays you the promised million dollars.

Manly Guys Doing Manly Things: Jared discovers that there is cake... but it's just the gross cake perimeter after somebody ate the inner parts of the cake. GlaDOS says she was protecting him from the truth, and asks if he would prefer a comforting lie instead. He looks her dead in the eye as he eats the cake perimeter.

Homestar Runner:
In the Strong Bad Email "4 branches", during the "Bureau of Doing Stupid Things at the Office" segment, Homestar gets Strong Bad's attention with the promise of free bagels.
In the short "Somber Vacation", Strong Sad shows off a Boring Vacation Slideshow to Strong Bad, Bubs, and Homestar. Strong Bad complains that Strong Sad claimed to have found a dead body for them to gawk at, and Bubs complains he was told there would be free casserole.

Played with in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off novel Pretty Maids All in a Row: The novel focuses on Spike and Dru, who are hired by a demon to do a job for him, with the promised reward being a powerful magical artifact Dru has decided she wants. A third of the way through, there's a flashback revealing that this artifact was stolen off the demon sixty years ago — but then two-thirds of the way through, there's another flashback revealing that thirty years ago the demon took it back. Finally, when Spike and Dru come to claim the reward, he admits that when he hired them he'd already given it away to somebody else he wanted a favour from. Final score: Double Subversion.

A clever variation is used in Stalker (1979). There is a miraculous Room at the centre of a militarised exclusion zone somewhere in Russia that grants you your innermost desire should you reach it. Your innermost desire, not what you consciously ask for. There was a guy named Porcupine who wanted to use the Room to wish for his dead brother to back to life, and instead the Room gave him a lot of money. The revelation that he wasn't as noble as he believed broke Porcupine's mind, and he killed himself out of shame and guilt.

In Sing, everyone in the city flocks to audition to Buster Moon's singing competition because of the $100,000 prize offered. Except Buster barely has 1,000. This isn't trickery or deceit (At first), it's the result of a wayward glass eyeball hitting a few extra zeros on the keyboard, and an open window and fan scattering the flyers before Buster could see them. And thus Buster is forced to find a way to raise the money before the contest or his contestants find out.

Baldur's Gate
The player is offered a quest with a 10,000 gp reward—big money at that point in the game—by Jierdan Firkraag. Once you reach the quest area, however, you're manipulated into killing several knights, and you find out that Firkraag is not only a dragon in disguise, but trying to destroy your reputation as payback for some half-explained slight.
Several other characters do this as well, Kangaxx the Demi-Lich and the Chromatic Demon from Watcher's Keep come to mind.
By the time of the Chromatic Demon, CHARNAME has apparently become wise to this, as (s)he observes in the diary: "As I expected, the Chromatic Demon attacked me as soon as I released it from its prison..."
As a rule of thumb, almost every evil guy who gives you a quest in the Baldur's Gate series will end up fighting you. Which doesn't mean you shouldn't do the quest, since you will find the reward they promised you over their dead body anyway, as well as valuable loot that's probably more useful than the money.

Sword Art Online
The Fairy Dance Arc fits this well. According to given sources of Alfheim Online, one can try the "Grand Quest", which would give his or her race a meeting with the Fairy King Oberon and promote the entire aligned race to the powerful Alfs. However, because only one can complete such a task, there is a lot of competition between the races, despite the alliances. It turns out the whole thing is a hoax. The "Grand Quest" is an Impossible Task and the main entrance impassable to normal players. What's more, there is no city or castle at the top of the tree that was said in the game, as it is merely a research center for the psychopathic administrator and staff to experiment on human brains.
In the Alicization Arc, Quinella motivates her henchman Chudelkin, who openly lusts after her, by swearing an oath to the goddess Stacia that if he can defeat the heroes, she will have sex with him. She later reveals she has no intention of giving him his reward; since she doesn't believe in Stacia, her oath is meaningless.

Burn Notice: Sam is trying to clear out an office temporarily so Michael can steal some information from one of the office computers. So posing as an office manager, he tries to herd everyone into a meeting room to work on "team work activities". It's not until he promises cake do people start listening to him. They're very grouchy later when they find out he lied.

Gravity Falls: In "Headhunters", Grunkle Stan advertises the re-opening of a lost exhibit with the promise of free pizza. There is, of course, no pizza. When questioned by the press, Stan says "That's just a typo. GOODNIGHT, EVERYBODY!" and runs off with everyone's admission money, to the disappointment and frustration of the attendees—particularly a guy wearing a "Free Pizza" t-shirt.
