It should be irrelevant what details the scammers did/didn’t use and how convincing their spiel is. We should be educating everyone that the SECOND anyone asks for your card details, or asks you to pay for something (gift cards included) that it’s a scam. Doesn’t matter how “real” it seems. The step people fail at isn’t ID’ing whether a caller is “real”, but by handing over their card details to anyone at all without personally contacting them via a known channel.
