Scammers already will spend multiple days on a scam call. Watch some Kitboga videos, he'll strings them along for a week.

"Google will call you again tomorrow to get you your refund."

They don't mind being patient when they have dozens of other victims in the wait queue.

This is obvious to anyone with a brain. I'm not familiar with scam logistics or the videos you mentioned, and the exact same line you put in quotes is what first came to my mind.

tl;dr of this post is that Google wants to lock down Android and be its gatekeeper. Every other point of discussion is just a distraction.
