You are not wasting a scammer’s day. They generally are not human scammers, they are bots. If you aren’t cooperating they will just hang up on you.
The few “live” scammers are essentially slaves lured in by job offers in scam factories in Asian countries such as Myanmar, where thousands of them (yes, thousands) make calls to try to hook you. If they don’t meet their quota of calls they are punished, sometimes beaten. The most humane thing you can do is to hang up on them immediately. Here is a photo of one such scam factory:
