Sometimes their wallet generates the transaction but doesn't broadcast it right away.  Why?  Dunno. But if they give you a txid and you can't find it on a block explorer but then many hours later the same txid winds up being valid that means that's what happened.  They did give you a real and valid txid generated by their wallet, they just waited a while to actually broadcast it.  Polo does that.  If they give you a txid that is never valid or the txid changes later, then those are even worse shenanigans.

They try to fool themselves or the users?

The users clearly but sometime It's simply technical issues because It simply takes that fake TXID in order to make a proper scam accusation against them. It really depends on the exchange too, If it's not reputable like Poloniex for example, I'd be very worried.
