Just wondering if anyone else has had the problem where you see the salary listed in a job listing. When you go to the interview and they ask what your salary requirement are and you say what was listed, they ask where you got that number.

No. And as someone who has been a hiring manager, I would be highly suspicious of any company that would question a candidate asking for the posted salary range. I can’t even guess a legitimate reason for their response, though I can think of several illegitimate reasons (scam, lowballing, preying on desperate job seekers, bait and switch, etc.)

That's a red flag. I wouldn't entertain them as a possible employment prospect. Salary data is abundantly available on the BLS.gov site for them to not have done their research and relying on candidates to tell them where they got the number.
