Illegal, Illegal, Illegal!
Casebook play 9.9.3B deals with the "where's the tee" play. In the comments it states "actions or verbiage designed to confuse the defense into believing there is problem [sic] and a snap isn't imminent is beyond the scope of sportsmanship and is illegal." The play you describe falls into this category. This is a USC foul before the snap.
