If you're not writing up, you should question why this person is asking you such detailed questions about your work.

Maybe they reviewed it though?

Yes, if they're reviewing your work at a journal they can delay it and scoop you. I didn't realise you meant this, this is more common.

This one is exactly where a preprint saves you and gets you the chance to get their work retracted.

If you send the evidence they were your reviewer, they created a similar study while delaying your work, and here's the preprint.

Well, they will be screwed. Even if it doesn't get retracted they will be ridiculed and shamed.
-
So yeah, preprints.
