Don't make stories up. A good interviewer will ask questions and find out when/if you are full of crap. This may sound bad, but you have to be honest. Now, you can spin a story any which way, but make sure you actually worked on what you say you worked on.
Earns Trust. If you are caught lying or thought to be lying you will get axed. I have seen a full interview board turn down someone because they were caught lying. Be honest.
The technical aspect is only a facet of the interview, for technical roles. Be prepared for all types of questions. A lot of people know that everyone is just grinding leet code to prep. This means that interviewers are getting more creative in their questions. Asking open ended problems that can be solved a number of ways.
And, if you get a question about the 15/16 leadership principals, just run.

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

Absolutely to all three of these.
