There's also people that will change their hobby name too, like what happened to me on a reference once while back.
Hours trying to figure out who the heck they were when all they had to do was give me a heads up. So frustrating & tedious.
I'd pass until he can pony up with either another reference or some other type if verification ( that's just my opinion.

to a level that makes you comfortable, pass on him. That is very good advice.
However, I understand and can appreciate why a guy would not want to call from his
company phone. Company phone calls are monitored at many businesses. Perhaps,
he does not have his hobby cell phone in the office with him. And, as for a lady not remembering
him, sometimes ladies will say they don't remember a guy when they really do and just
don't want to lose business. They think of other ladies as competition and are not reference
friendly. Or maybe just maybe she really doesn't remember him because you have not
given her enough information. You might ask him for more information such as name, hobby
phone, email, TER Handle and something about their date that would help her remember.....
something they talked about , something that happened during their date, something he
brought her, or where they met. Different ladies keep track of their friends in different
ways so if you don't give her the right info or enough info, she may not remember him.
It could be very possible that he is trouble but is also possible that he is not. You have
to do your homework and don't be afraid to ask questions.
