I might of missed it, but is this an internal posting?
From my experience when switching jobs or getting a new one with a new company that there are two types. Ones that try and get the best talent and honest, and cheap skates. It is especially bad if they are doing it to people with experience in the field. Straight out of college recruits, that is fine.
I would counter like the others have said with your minimum that you would have worked for. If they decline, thank them for their time and move on. Then report their strategies online to others if you really think they are being scandalous.
If their HR lied and did this during an interview, what makes you think they will not hit you with a salary decrease later on. IMO when HR is shady like this run away. Just red flags to me from the way you described it. Companies generally know what they are paying, then will overpay for talent to get them. If they tell you one thing then change it:
A, they either have a worse option that they can get for the 10% less and are seeing if they can get you for it.
B, strung you along to see if you would bite.
C, HR and hiring manager are not talking to each other.
