The FraudSCAN database is a tool that collects the scanned copies of fraudulent qualifications and qualifications issued
by Diploma Mills received by the ENIC-NARIC centres partners of the projects FraudSCAN and FraudS+.
The database provides credential evaluators with a useful tool to carry out assessments and to prevent the circulation
and the use of fraudulent qualifications, building on the expertise and experience of colleagues
from ENIC-NARIC centres. The database is accessible to staff
of the
ENIC-NARIC centres only.
The FraudSCAN database has been developed in the framework of
two different projects, co-Funded by the
European Commission in the framework of the Erasmus+ programme - Action 3 (Support for Policy Reform),
both conceptualized and coordinated by
CIMEA (Italy):
