I was terminated for made-up reasons that have little to do with the real reason, which had to do with my blowing the whistle on something. I'm now looking for a new job and am concerned about references. 

There's the official company version of events and then there's the employee's version. I know which one is right, but the person asking the questions won't.

Here is my question: How do I present my version of the story without scaring away every potential employer?
