“Concerned” relative reached out

I got a bit of a strange situation and I’m really unsure how to react.
I got contacted by a relative of my fiance and basically warned about him. The person claims to be his sister which is possible because he has a sister, but it might well be someone pretending to be her.
My boyfriend is not British but has lived here for close to 10 years, and he is nc with his family.
I got the message on Thursday and just ignored it for now but it is nagging. I have not told him about it yet and I guilty about this but I would probably prefer not to cause any upset if I can avoid it.
I think I’d understand it if it was an ex parter reaching out but a family member just seems so strange.
I’m not sure if I’m making this unnecessarily complicated but I feel quite uneasy about this and am unsure if I should show him the message.

I'm also curious to know how she knows about you if she lives in another country and they are NC.

@HoneyCorn Mutual friends or SM perhaps.
