Default Is there a word for it??!!

Hi,
I want to ask that is there a word for a person who boasts about one self of having certain things or qualities,but doesn't have them or shows over confidence in one's abilities
.Some thing like the word "Misconception",but misconception is slightly different in meaning.
Thanks

How about bluffer? If you don't mind slang, you could use bullshitter.
