I'd give him my name (maybe Sherman T Potter or Nigel Tufnell or someone from Monty Python) and my address (either 1060 W. Addison in Chicago or 1313 Mockingbird Lane) and so on and so forth with lots of "I'm sorry can you say that again?"
There are YouTube channels featuring "scam the scammer" calls that go on for a LONG time. They're comedy gold. And justice in action.
I got a call from a car warranty place a few years ago. The call said my warranty was about to expire. Just to mess with them I hit “1” to talk to an agent.

They seemed confused and I said your recording told me my warranty was about to expire so what car are you talking about?
This went on for about 5 minutes and they finally said your ‘92 Sunbird. I informed them the sunbird had been in the garage for 5 years and didn’t run but if they wanted to fix it it was ok by me.
They hung up.

I did one time recognize a Gujarati accent and replied “You’ve reach Vijay Patel at the Intelligence Bureau. Ah, can you get to the point, I’ve got a meeting with Arvind Kumar in five minutes.” Remember the British Colonial accent. I here a stammer with obscenities, to which I replied “Too late, traced and located.” Click.
