I wrote this article. I can’t take credit for the ‘yes’ idea, but some of these scammer’s reactions were funny. I feel like I caught a few of them at the end of a long day.

I remember watching a YouTube video where someone tried the same thing with different strategies, like always replying “OK” or telling the scammer they already have the money.
Replying “yes” to questions that can’t be answered yes will always remind me of the guy in Pacifdlog Town in the Pokémon games who asks where we are from and we have the option to answer yes or no.
In the game Starship Titanic, the game asks you a series of questions at the beginning. The last of them is simply “Fish?” with the only options for answering being yes or no.
Without context, I’d understand that as asking whether I like to eat fish.
Since it’s based on a Douglas Adams work I would assume it’s asking if I want a babel fish.
Well, in this case, the lack of context is the joke. I agree that, if someone asked me this in real life, that is also how I would interpret it.
Unfortunately, I can’t find a video of the specific part I’m referencing, but this video claims to be a full walkthrough. I believe the interview part starts about eight minutes in.
