I'm constantly amazed at the lengths unprofessional aspiring authors will go through. Such as telling me they looked ALL OVER MY WEBSITE and couldn't find the email to send submissions.
Which is on the guidelines page. Granted, it's a mailto link and not an address per se, but it's clearly marked. And the addresses they do send to are ones you really have to dig to find.
So, no, can't say this one strikes me as particularly weird. I've never had one go so far as to include a faked email from me as part of their response, but I've certainly had them send me samples after I told them no, thanks.
I hate to sound sexist, but my observation is it's the male of the species that's most inclined to try and pull this kind of stunt.
