He purports to be an established writer. I sent this on to his real agent and they confirmed that it was an ongoing problem. Asked me to block bogus email adress used. I've had several other "writer" scams.

I’m Mark Haddon, and over the years I’ve written novels that explore the quieter corners of the human mind, sometimes humorous, sometimes unsettling, always rooted in curiosity. I discovered your work recently and felt that familiar spark, the sense that the writer behind the page isn’t just creating stories, but building worlds with intent and care. It’s rare enough that I wanted to reach out directly. There’s no hidden purpose here. Just one author wanting to connect with another who clearly understands the discipline, chaos, and occasional magic of this profession. If you’re open to a brief conversation, I’d truly enjoy hearing about what you’re working on and what’s been inspiring you lately. Writer-to-writer exchanges often lead to unexpected insights. My first book, if you’d like a look: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time ? https://a.co/d/39iiKcy And the rest of my work: Amazon Author Page ? https://www.amazon.com/stores/Mark-Haddon/author/B001IOH0IW Best, Mark Haddon Author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time ??
