If I'm sure enough that he's "faking being fouled," I've got no problem warning him and then ringing him up if he does it again. I did it (warned) twice last season, and there were no repeat offenders.
Most cases involve a player bailing too early, but that's not illegal. Ever. The rules specifically allow the defender to move to absorb contact. Doing it early only reduces the chance of an actual foul, but it's not illegal, so I don't understand why people want to penalize this player with a block.
