Seems like it would be better to go through with the calls and destroy them at the payments gateway/payments provider level, same as was done with online pharma

  In my experience with counter-scamming, these guys generally don't actually use any kind of payment processor -- they ask people to go get gift cards and tell them the numbers. It's a clever way of going about it, which essentially guarantees that they can't be shut down directly. The only way to beat them is to waste so much of their time that it's no longer profitable.
