I had the complete opposite experience with a client where the scammer kept telling me to click on the Start menu even after I goaded him by telling him we were on a Mac. No ability to shift the scheme.

The scams are run by professional call centers. Sometimes as a side business of an otherwise normal call center. The people working there are call center workers. They have a script and they follow the script. They could have no knowledge of the underlying tech at all.
