When this happened to me, the spammer remained on the line and attempted their spiel to the other person, giving me the opportunity to intervene to some extent.

Why do they let you stay on the line? It seems detrimental to them successfully scamming the new person they called.

I think their metrics are tracked and thus they want to avoid short calls or hanging up on someone who calls in.
