"Watch out for" - In what context?
As a (potential) employer/ee?
As a (potential) client?
As a (potential) trading partner?
If they only arrived 2 months ago it is unlikely they are yet a UK resident - 50 days in the last tax year, 10 days in this. In very general terms treat them as one would anyone else from overseas.
Whatever you normally do I think
and, maybe, ask for a reference from his accountant or lawyer wherever he comes from.
If you don't like the look of him, don't take him on!
