Eduction/Prevention is the best way of dealing with this kind of issue.
That is the way to do it. Make the person sign a form where he issues a statement that everything he has said and written down is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If he signs that and its later discovered to be untrue, you have grounds for fraud.
