Wouldn't a wait time like 2 hours with some jitter make it more difficult for a scammer to pursue the case? People aren't going to be willing to stay on the phone for hours at a time. With 24 hour wait, the scammer could just schedule another call for the next day.

"Okay, come back to me in a few hours and we'll continue"

Remember, these are already people who took the time to respond. They are invested.

Okay, I'll ring back tomorrow and we'll continue
