Inconsistency between content and structured data markup

[intern202012]

Hi~ everyone

What does Google think about the inconsistency between content and structured data markup?

Is this kind of a cheating way ?  Is hurt my SEO?

This is what they say, explicitly: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/sd-policies. Specifically, see the "Quality Guidelines > Content" section.

In terms of actual penalties, ranking influence, or marking pages as spam , I can't say from experience as I've never knowingly used markup inconsistent with the information visible on the page.
