  Reporting Fugded Credentials, No Brainer

  I can't imagine why one should feel concerned about becoming a tattle tale, there are various ways of doing this discretely. Furthermore, this one individual could put your job in peril, or the company as a whole depending on the responsibilities of their post. Exposing the deception is a duty especially if they clearly can not perform the duties assigned to their position. It is also a matter of morale on the part of the people under them as well as their peers that have to pick up slack for them.

  Torn Between Options 1 and 3

  I voted for the third option (tell the offender what you know, and say you'll tell if they don't). But I might also go for the first option (just report it). It would take a delicate approach, though. You could make yourself look bad if you allowed any emotion to creep into the matter (e.g., Copping an "I told you so" attitude if you've already complained about the person's incompetence.) Hard to say without knowing the personalities involved. But one way or another, it needs to be revealed.

  I select 2, if time won't show his actual performance to superiors, maybe superiors are well enough with that person on that particular position. It is none of my business anyway - my business is doing my part of job for money, and doing it good.
  
  Hiring people and deciding who does what is the work of superiors. Judging too quickly and making rash decisions has never done anybody good. As well as revealing the "truth".

  I prefer to advise the HR dept. to recheck his/her data telling them that may be the resume is not so accurate, but without making a big noise around this candidate.
  
  coming from a 3rd world society, it is preferable to tell the truth but in the meantime, avoiding to be sanctioned yourself by it. many people fudge their resume just to get the job and you don't know, who is behind this candidate that can give him/her the needed support and then you find yourself out of the job because you just wanted things to be done the right way!!
