Ja good idea.  The person who supposedly sent the request may not know of
the scam.

About 20 yrs ago, someone was posting stuff to the ExI list posing as me.
We all took it in good fun.  Apparently the poster was female, or claimed
she was.  It started a big discussion on how to verify identities online.
There was no harm done in those more playful, experimental times.  I started
writing stuff posing as her posing as me.  We had a big ExI party at my
house and I had a bunch of the regulars post stuff from my account posing as
me, writing stuff they thought I would write.  It was a hoot.
