Eventually it's about whether you want to do the right thing (fold, if the reveal was that he had KK), or do things right (call).
As you have said yourself, your alarm bell was on, and that's a reaction based on all the info you collected around this V, and your alarm might lead you to do the right thing. On the other hand, the description that we as readers could receive about this V was already second hand info, and each of us would then filter & process it differently. Therefore what everyone says here is more like a standard suggestion with a bit of deviation based on the read of V, but I have no problem with your fold as an one-off exploit.
