I'll look into the authorship of Hebrews, but not everything not linked to Paul is considered fraudulent. For example, some of the non-Pauline letters are considered to have been written by a Pauline scribe or student. So some scholars argue that even a non-Pauline letter can represent enough of Paul's ideas to be considered an authentic teaching.
As I seem to recall, Hebrews is not considered to have been authored by Paul, but by somebody close to Paul.
