"Tell me a problem you recently encountered, and how you fixed it" - What I am looking for is not about how awesome they did on saving $2.231.333 by patching xyz, but rather how they describe the problem/solution.

There is just something about that question that can go into 5-10min discussion and you get the feel for how the interviewee operates under problems that can occur in any given moment.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
