Hi Paliton, welcome to Eater. That is a very common attempt called the NOK (Next of Kin). Keep in mind that sometimes it may take a few days for lads to reply, but if they are contacting you on your real email then I wouldn't try winding him up, merely drop him and forget him. If you want to wind him up, do it safely with a new IP stripping email account (gmail, hushmail, ...). If you'd like others to have a shot at him, you can post it in the Surplus Forum.
