Sure, but what about a 30 minute delay? 1 hour? 2 hour?

24 is just so long.

But also, my expectation is that a scammer is going to just automate the flow here anyways. Cool, you hit the "24 hour" wait period, I'll call you back tomorrow, the next day, or the next day and continue the scam process.

It might stop some less sophisticated spammers for a little bit, but I expect that it'll just be a few tweaks to make it work again.
