Oh goodness. I work for an agent, and a couple of weeks ago something similar happened: a full ms landed on my desk, neatly packaged in a FedEx box, with a quick note to my boss saying, "As requested, here is my book. Enjoy!" Neither my boss nor I had ever spoken to this guy before.
I emailed him to ask if maybe he'd crossed his lines somewhere (because, you know, FedExing something costs money and he ought to know if he made a mistake), but it turned out he was just another slush author. Took quite a while to get him to admit it though.
But fabricating an email exchange? That's something new. What a crazy.
