I could do with some advice re potential walt.
Hi guys,
I am a civvy so please forgive the intrusion on this forum.
I would like a bit of advice if possible.
As part of my work I am about to do business with a chap who is ex-forces. Seems straight up and there is a paper trail on line about his past.
However, we took an anonymous 'phone call about him from someone claiming he was a Walt. Could be malicious, but it has raised a question about his integrity. If it turns out he is a fraud it will reflect badly on our business.
On line, some of the dates of things he has done don't match. However, that could be down to bad journalism or genuine errors.
What do you as members of the mililtary suggest is the best course of action?.
I could approach him and tell him about the 'phone call. But that may upset him if he is straight or prompt him into more lies if he is not.
He could be straight and be so angry he leaves the project which would not be good.
Is there a way I can legally and quickly check that this guy is who he says he is. If I rang for example a unit he claims to have worked with, would they be able to answer my questions?
I really want to be discreet about this as it is quite a delicate situation.
Cheers
Tyne.
