I just hung up of course but I can see how many would be concerned enough to follow the prompts and end up giving them their credit card details etc.
I hate very few people but these are among the few.

The few times these calls have come through, I keep them on the phone for a while. It's fun. I go through with it, make up credit card details, try and put on a different voice and accent, and just make them work for nothing.
If you pretend to be helpless but willing to fork over cash, you'd be surprised how much time they'll put into it. Which is time they aren't spending on someone who could fall for it.
