And no, you can't claim the miles, you may lose all your miles if caught.

I had the same question as the OP......googled it, and came across this page and one from United:

Relevant section:
Can I book a ticket for someone else with my MileagePlus miles?
Yes, you may request to have a MileagePlus award ticket issued in someone else’s name.
FWIW

You absolutely can book award tickets for someone else out of your account with your miles, but you definitely can't accrue miles into your account for a flight that someone else takes.
