I sit on the opposite side of the table a lot - they were looking more at you because they wanted to save some money, knew you didn't match what they were looking for, but could probably learn it. So they would have given a low ball offer until someone on their side stepped in and said "no."
I think my views on the process involved align with yours (and I'm horrified you had to jump through so many hoops). So thanks for posting.

For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
