Plus they will need a darn sight more info than that as well.
Am I just old, thick, and missing the point?
Regardless, the point here is to never respond to scammers. At the very least you are validating that it is a valid phone number which makes it more valuable on the dark web. We never answer the phone if we to not recognize the number and we rarely receive these types of calls.
