That happens because sometimes recruiters are on contingency search basis (i.e. they do not get paid until they actually make a placement) Hence they will try their best to fit you into their client's budget in hoping that they will still be able to close the deal, or at least be able to answer to the company that there are things in the pipeline. Regardless, it is unethical and unprofessional and you should not engage her services again.
