Oh come on. What’s the proportion of people doing that out of the applicants you ever interviewed?
Having a five minutes chat about any of their projects would weed them out right away.

I think the user you're replying to has trust issues.
"When I meet someone for the first time I don't trust them, there is so many scam artists that can tell colorful stories"
Sounds like they've been scammed before and are taking it out on candidates.

I always wonder why people have this second thought about these super complex and convoluted sneaky edge cases. Maybe I'm being naïve here, but I truly think that this will happen in less than the 1% of the candidates, there are just so many jobs offers to waisting the time on doing all that for a "chance" of trick one interview, which you might not even like the offer and then ending up rejecting anyways.
I think that you should work on these trust issues, the interview process is about hiring people not rejecting them.
People can create fake portfolios and you even have systems to make it look like you are active on git hub. Then learn to talk through the code or present that code without understanding any of it. You really really don't want to hire someone like that.
If I ask you on the spot and have discussion about something new you just had to come up with, it is much harder to bs.
It is not just about you, it is not just about company. It is about relationship. When I meet someone for the first time I don't trust them, there is so many scam artists that can tell colorful stories where they are "military paramedic just back from mission". Then this story will fall apart only after they are already months in job. If they are scammers they probably will do other bad stuff as well.
