tey and JPR,
I'd look at things as alot of the folks said.
You have to really wonder, from the same town, same letters, different names and won't supply a home address??
Did he give any other way of contacting him?
And to be honest, If Mrsdelta doesn't like this person, then I'd be sending them back in a hurry.
http://www.switchboard.com/ white pages. If his name doesn't check out, then you confirm that there is cause to back out.
Trust me, there are a whole lot of really great people to deal with and you won't be questioning their intent.
I'll go back to minding my own business now. ; )
