Should my friend know?

[The LadyKiller]

A HB recently began working at our company. She is a temp and is only working with us for a couple of months. My senses detected that there was something not right about her, but the truth what I expected.

An acquaintance of mine had allegedly been out on a date with her. For reasons unknown, he felt the need to run a background check on her afterwards and discovered, without her knowledge, that she is married and she is trying to hide this fact at all costs. He wanted to get this off his chest and told me. I was skeptical until he showed me indisputable evidence - it's true.

Personally, it's nothing I need to concern myself with. However, a friend of mine has recently begun hanging out with her and I get the feeling he is developing feelings for her. I don't want my friend to get burned, but the girl's backstory isn't my business. What's the right thing to do?

Burn your friend.
If that's what's needs to be done then do it. Be a man of action rather then hope that he won't get hurt.

I'm not burning my friend - she is. I have no feelings.

Then just tell him. What's the worse that happens? You lose a friend who doesn't value your opinion?

If he's a good enough friend that he would tell you if the situation was reversed, then tell him. Otherwise it's his problem.

Why are you guys doing background checks on girls?

My acquaintance felt jilted or something to that effect and saw her ring, so he investigated. I'm an innocent bystander. Acquaintance wanted to tell someone and I happened to be nearby.
