I once had an interaction with someone online who believed Apollo 11 was fake... but the other five were totally legit.
You're not the only one who's heard that take from someone. Someone else I once (regrettably) talked to insisted that only the first one was fake.
Their logic was that NASA knew how to get to the moon but knew they wouldn't beat the Soviets, so they faked the first mission to demoralize the competition and give them time to do a real moon mission after that.
