Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

How do I check?
Electrum > Tools > Sign/verify Message > enter data > Verify

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.
