Euromonitor interview questions

My first interviwer was eager and exited to have me. 40 minutes round of introductions. Classic! Then this East European (I can tell of her strong slavish accent) old woman talks (she didn't say a word in 40 minutes) and asks me if I can give her names of active players in the target market. As I was giving names, she was taking notes! So I stopped. I told her: I will name you references when I am hired. To my statisfaction, three names I gave her could have been gotten from ant local rookie. She couldn't use them to penetrate a market anyway. She got offended and that's how I figured what was the purpose of the interview; and why the Ad was on LinkedIn for more than three months unfilled. It's never going to be filled. It is a bate. This is a single-man running the company despite the fact of identifying "international". It is micromanaged. I know this tactic of holding random interviews just to get free information/data. DOn't fall for it. Remember... this company SELLS information on markets. They wanted to go over one hour of interviewing to squeeze more info/data from me but I stopped the interview. I got a sorry letter email the same day! it confirms my doubts
