I had the same experience. I was straight up lied to by the salesmen. I talked about it to my bank, they were aware of the problem as it happens to a lot of people. BMO offered to open a new bank account, and move all my funds to it and close my account that goodlife tricked me into using.
I was told that I could cancel any time after a free trial. It turns out I was lied to. I went to see the salesman again as it was on my way. Telling him that I switched my accounts made shut up and look defeated. Felt so good.

Whiteboard problems work great as a general intelligence test if administered correctly. A well designed whiteboard problem will filter out people of lesser intelligence. This means the people you would be working with would generally be more intelligent. This is not a bad thing.
Furthermore, whiteboards are great communication tools. I spend some time on VRChat's whiteboard room teaching people various algorithms, and other abstract things to help me learn. Someone who knows how to use a whiteboard and communicate correctly would be a better hire than someone who doesn't.
If the company you work at uses whiteboard problems to vet interviewees, just drill them. With a little practice, you'll have a better chance.
