Given the wide range of comments, it looks very culture-specific to me. Some guys live the strategy, some don't like it. Personally, I don't like it.
If someone is approaching me and is not willing to give anything precise and tries to push for more personally, it very often is a sign of a person that is more interested in optimizing the personal life and not about building a long-term relationship with the company. These few interviews are not much time to really evaluate the skills and on the CV, you could also lie (if you lied on the NDA, which does not really make sense). Basically, you often see what you have after the first months. From there, employees can profoundly argument with their proven performance within the company.
After the second discussion that evolves this way, I would put the candidate on hold. I prefer honest and open discussions. This is to respect the candidate's tone in case we are far of from what he is expecting as well as my time in talking to candidates that might be interested in receiving money and doing the least effort that is required to justify it, but not really interested in working for a sufficiently long time in the company to justify the high onboarding costs for hiribg abd training. And with a lower risk that the guy jumps for the next job after a short time if it means higher salary or less actual work.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
