Either verify the signature within electrum, as showed by LoyceV or use a website (e.g. https://brainwalletx.github.io/#verify) to do so.
If the signature is valid, you can be sure that the person with access to the private key did sign that message. This either has to be person A or someone who gained access to person A's private key.

It really is not that hard.
Chances are high you are being scammed.

If he doesn't know how to sign a message, he could have just googled it.
If he doesn't know how to google, he doesn't know how to "hack".

He is an impersonator. And most likely a script kiddy with no clue whatsoever.

I dont think hes the hacker he proclaimed to be either cause he shouldnt have ask you what you mean and a little google reseach is enough for him to know how to sign a message. Send him this link but you need to be more careful cause it could be an imposter as you thought.
