By wasting a scammer's time you are not preventing people from being scammed, you are just delaying that moment.

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.
