A Recruiter Does the Hanky-Panky with my E-mail Verification System

Ria M. of Edison, NJ misspells my name and then hanky-pankies his way around my verification questions. His answers came like so (1st column is his authorisation ticket):
TPgPEU: 24.89.179.91 hav_j=y
TPgPEU: 24.89.179.91 red_r=y
TPgPEU: 24.89.179.91 lnx_j=n
TPgPEU: 24.89.179.91 emb_j=y
TPgPEU: 24.89.179.91 loc_j=y
TPgPEU: 24.89.179.91 msft=n
TPgPEU: 24.89.179.91 loc_a=y
TPgPEU: 24.89.179.91 bad_a=n
TPgPEU: 24.89.179.91 bad_a=n emb_j=y hav_j=y lnx_j=n \
loc_a=y loc_j=y msft=n red_r=y
TPgPEU: 24.89.179.91 lnx_j=y
TPgPEU: 24.89.179.91 bad_a=n emb_j=y hav_j=y lnx_j=y \
loc_a=y loc_j=y msft=n red_r=y
so if he did not succeed at first he tried again...

His sh*tty job ad for a W1nd0ws CE job ran like this:
I saw your resume on dice.com and thought you
might be a good fit for an Embedded Engineer position
in Norwood MA. Would you be interested? I have attached
the job description below for your review.

BTW I put a bit of JS/AJAX code on the on-line form so I get a log entry every time them recruiters click on a button... just so I know what they think ;)
