Should I block this potential OLD?

Just wondering if my Spidey senses have got this right? Got sent a long first message - v long, like a full page yesterday. Initially thought it was refreshing, I've set a character minimum anyway as a quick "Hi, how's you" leaves me cold.
We chatted a bit over the day, seemed keen to meet next week, one reply he sent as a voice recording.
In the evening, I asked the significance of his username as it's totally different to his ethnicity, he says it's because he got stalked on the site by someone he'd had 2 dates with, and that they had accessed his FB too.
This has since got me wondering, as really, would anyone rejoin the same site, just change username, if they'd been stalked, and wouldn't blocking the person work? Also why come up with a creepy tail even if true so soon in conversation?
He's sent me a good morning message today, sweet maybe or a latching on tactic?
I'm second guessing this now, kinda looking back and think he's maybe too good to be true, perhaps he's the stalker? Would you give it more time or block is the question?

Nonsense. The more plausible explanation is that he is in a relationship woth the said person and doesn’t want to be found out.

He's married

Why not ask him why he didn't just block the person?

I said if it were me, I'd just bock and that I block people who send dodgy messages, he didn't say anything in reply to that. Not considered the attached angle, that's a good point.

Red flag from day 1. I would unmatch. Who needs the drama?

Why wouldn't you block him? No shortage of other blokes

I'm intrigued by the idea that usernames should somehow "match" ethnicity. Is this a new rule for OLD only, or is it all social media?
