Recruiter low balling to start the conversation. How to respond?

Question

I was contacted by a recruiter thru email and pushed me to share my salary expectation. Instead I asked to share their salary range for the position.

Now recruiter giving me a real low ball range (~40% below market rate) and asking if I am still interested.

How should I handle this situation?
