Bankruptcy, would you touch him with a bargepole?

Got chatting this week with a guy online (OLD) and he seems really nice and normal. We have interests in common. He gave me his full name and where he worked (which I found a bit odd being as we don't know each other - I am much more guarded) and said I could look him up. So I did. And there also on the first page of google was a bankruptcy notice for him. He was made bankrupt last year. Its definitely him, right age and it has his full address, and he had told me the small town he lives in.

I'm a bit disappointed. Not looking for serious relationship, but still. I also find it a bit odd he disclosed so much about himself when we've only chatted for a couple of days.

Colourmeclear that’s ever so convoluted!

I think I'd be put off by the weird provision of details - I had one guy on OLD who told me the full names of his children within a handful of messages and he turned out to be generally weird.

I guess you mean individual bankruptcy, not company bankruptcy, if you are wondering how he got into debt? (I don't think it's extremely unusual among entrepreneurs; Alan Sugar went bankrupt twice.)

Identity theft does sound very plausible considering that so much of the man's info is online.
