Not particularly, no. But I imagine they would simply say "Johnny it's X, call me. It's urgent". (Scammers are bad, but I've never been tricked with that kind of line).

If I'm being frank, that extra minute for me to respond probably won't change their fate if they are indeed bleeding out somewhere.

Yeah, if you answer calls from random numbers something unsettling usually happens like some Indian guy yelling at me about how the IRS wants their money and the cops are on the way to my house (punchline: he can make it stop if I give him my bank account information). Unfortunately, it works on the kind of people who answer phone calls.
