Fabricated academic credentials discovered



One candidate for an American investment bank stated that he had attended a prestigious UK university on undergraduate and postgraduate courses and provided copies of his graduation certificates to the HR department. The university’s Student Records department advised TRAG that the candidate had never been registered as a student at the university and was never awarded any qualifications. The certificates were found to be forgeries and further enquiries revealed that the candidate had attended a different university in the same city for four years, but left without graduating.
