It's worth noting that many landline phones now allow you to enter a number that you're intending to call, then pressing the call button at which point the number is automatically dialed.
If the dial tone is heard at all, it is for a very brief period, and might be entirely missed. This would make the scam you're describing even more readily achieved.
