    At least I kept two of them busy for about 20 minutes so they couldn’t scam other people at the same time

    They will scam other people anyway, just 20 minutes later.

      Do the scammers really decide to work more hours to make up for people wasting their time?

        It depends on overtime payment and team building measures like always. And as it’s already illegal why not a threat or two to increase performance. Not layoff level, but concrete shoes level.

          That doesn’t really make sense if you think about it though. You are making the scam less profitable to run. Even if the scammers work overtime to make up for wasted time, at the end of the day someone is paying them to be on the phone.
