Yes, it is cheating or at least highly unethical.
Having read subsequent posts that it was from a serious competitor who should
have known better, the immediate response to him might have been to say "no, I
sent you XXXX", where XXXX is not what you sent him. If he believes you, at
least he will lose that QSO. For a casual likely newcomer I’d have just ignored
it, or perhaps politely replied “No thanks”.
And forwarding the email to the contest director was indeed appropriate.
