They get paid for that time. They literally do not care.

You’re only wasting your own time.

They have to meet a quota... wasting their time means they aint out scamming someone else.

Most scammers do NOT get hourly pay, at least in India, Pakistan, Nigeria, or the Caribbean. They’re paid solely on commission for the money they make for the scam call center they work for, or they work for themself so nobody is paying them.
