 Scam calls - Manatee
I'd like to see the economics of this.

The call cost is probably small, but more than the wages. If it is India then they can probably get away with £1 a day. They'll be using a dialler so the people will only be involved when there's a pick up.They might be able to speak to 50 people per hour, 3 or 400 per day? Maybe the all up cost is £10 a day so a couple of pence per contact, most of which will be of a few seconds duration, so one hit a day will still be good money for (presumably) their boss.

I can't be bothered to wind them up but I don't like to help their business model by hanging up immediately, so I say as warmly as possible, trying to sound about 90, "Hold on, I'll go and fetch him/her", leave the phone off the hook and carry on with whatever I was doing. Even if they only hold on for 10 or 20s it will undermine their productivity a bit.
