Dear Seniors,
Recently, I received an email regarding ex-employment verification from the HR Department of a certain company. They are requesting certain details for verification and have also attached some documents, such as the relieving letter from our company.
The issue we are facing is that we do not recognize the individual in question; he has never been an employee of our company, neither in the past nor in the present. Furthermore, he has improperly used our company logo and letterhead to fabricate a relieving letter bearing a forged signature of our Managing Director.
Course of Action
What course of action should I take, and how should I respond to this particular company?
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

You should not hesitate to write the facts of the case.
The matter of the fraudulent signature of the Managing Director (MD) should be brought to the attention of the MD. Determine whether he/she would like to pursue a case of forgery against the individual.
The individual has taken the wrong path to secure a job, and individuals like this need to be exposed and appropriately punished, or at the very least, reprimanded sternly.
However, you must be meticulous in verifying details, including old records.
The information you provide could potentially lead to criminal charges for forgery.
