How to expose an interview with a hidden mlm firm to show that they lied in their job post and make you a salesmen in a department store for less than minimum wage?

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I received a call back from a company for an interview. For background, I am in strategic marketing looking to move up in my career currently in an agency seeking another b2b agency. I received this call and immediately looked at their website. Right away, I was sketched out as the website had very little about their company. They boast promotion of trunk shows, but when I mentioned my previous tradeshow experience, they got a little quiet. After the interview was set for tomorrow, I investigated the reviews as I have learned. I have been burned by a company like this before, promising a marketing office role and the next thing you know you’re in a department store selling AT&T to people who DON’T WANT TO BUY CELLPHONES. My question is, what questions during the interview can I ask…

For background, I am in strategic marketing looking to move up in my career currently in an agency seeking another b2b agency.

I received this call and immediately looked at their website. Right away, I was sketched out as the website had very little about their company. They boast promotion of trunk shows, but when I mentioned my previous tradeshow experience, they got a little quiet.

After the interview was set for tomorrow, I investigated the reviews as I have learned. I have been burned by a company like this before, promising a marketing office role and the next thing you know you’re in a department store selling AT&T to people who DON’T WANT TO BUY CELLPHONES.

My question is, what questions during the interview can I ask to get them to expose that they’re providing false advertising in their job posting. I already intend to report the post as it promises 60,000$ which is my ideal, but from past experience and reviews I know you’ll ultimately make $20,000 if you’re lucky.

My current questions are:
1) what does a day in the role look like?
2) are you omnichannel or multichannel focused?
3) I know trunk shows are your main focus, does the “agency” also handle programmatic, CTV or email tactics I would be able to grow into?

Please let me know your insight. I wish these jobs wouldn’t do this to people. They take young marketing people and make them HATE the field.

Any and all suggestions welcomed (:
