I just recently had a business dealing with an individual who gave me a bad gut feeling.
In my business, I'm required to gather a lot of personal information from individuals. In the course of interviewing this individual I noticed several subtle inconsistencies and the individual gave me conflicting information when questioned on the inconsistencies.
This person is fairly new to our country. His home country is one that is known to harbor terrorists. He has been here only a matter of months and during that time has had a few different addresses all of which have been in very expensive and exclusive areas. He is very clean cut and articulate in English with almost no accent except when he pronounces certain words they seem to have a very slight German accent to them. He is very polite and well mannered. He may be a very fine young man, but something about him just doesn't seem right and the way he handled me exploring some of the inconsistencies gave me the feeling that he is hiding something.
I don't have any evidence of wrong doing to take to the authorities so I am a bit perplexed as to what, if anything, I should do. On the one hand, I would hate to cause trouble for an innocent person. On the other hand, If I ever see this guy's picture on the news being involved in some horrific terrorist event I would be sickened if I did nothing.
I was hoping some of you out there may have some insights from what little I've offerred here and/or some advice for me.
