no way to alter a digital odometer, the only way to fraud an odometer reading is to unplug the vss (vehicle speed sensor) on the transmission, or to change the pcm (power train control module) witch is the vehicles computer and has to be reprogrammed to that vehicle by a certified tech with a re programmer.(very expensive) most people would not go through that king of trouble to alter an odometer reading.

Once the odometer is set with a number it can not go back, even if its set with a scan tool hook up. Its just one of the designs of it. There is no access into a digital odometer to change the number without changing the entire instrument cluster, then by going off of milage statments, warranty documents, VIN reports, and whatever else, you will be able to tell. The only odometers you can set back are the ones that were analog. I know, I had to do that, when the odometer in my car died and bought a used one. Other then going off of what you know, its absolutly impossible to tell if its been changed, as for digital, impossible to change without replacing the cluster.
