From Fraud to Fallout : A Case Study on Uncovering Academic Forgery

Case Overview

In a case of identity deception, a candidate managed to evade detection for six years by presenting a fraudulent academic document. The candidate, who had failed a university examination, possessed a falsified marksheet indicating a passing grade. This document was successfully used in previous background checks, allowing the candidate to secure and maintain employment.

However, in 2017, when the candidate sought a promotion, the background check was, therefore, entrusted to Vibrant Screen. Initially, a red flag was raised during the initial verification when, consequently, the university declared the submitted marksheet invalid. Although the college later validated the document during a subsequent verification, Vibrant Screen’s persistent investigation eventually uncovered the discrepancy.

Resolving the Discrepancy

Vibrant Screen initiated a comprehensive investigation to reconcile the conflicting information provided by the university and the college. By presenting the university’s declaration of invalidity to the college, Vibrant Screen exposed the fraudulent nature of the mark sheet. This meticulous approach to verification highlighted the importance of cross-referencing information from multiple sources.

Case Outcome

Through rigorous scrutiny and unwavering dedication to accuracy, Vibrant Screen successfully uncovered the candidate’s fraudulent activities. The client was promptly informed of the findings, leading to the termination of the employee. This case serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of hiring without thorough background checks.
