Why Are Strangers Offering Thousands for My Google Play Console Account? Is This a Scam?
Why people are looking to buy existing Google Play Console account rather than creating a new one directly from Google?
Payment for Google developer account

Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding a situation I don’t quite understand. I’ve had a Google Play Console developer account since 2019, which contains several apps I developed. However, I no longer actively use this account as I’ve transitioned to working with Xcode and iOS development.
Recently, I’ve been receiving numerous emails and messages from individuals and companies offering significant amounts of money—ranging from $1,500 to $2,000—to purchase my Play Console account. I find this unusual and concerning, as I don’t understand their motives.
When I inquired why they couldn’t simply create their own developer account for $25, I was told that Google’s policies have changed and now require 14 testers to upload apps, among other reasons that don’t entirely convince me.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could clarify what might be happening. This situation feels like a significant red flag, especially since my account is verified with my personal information and address. Selling it under these circumstances seems potentially illegal and highly suspicious right? or its just a usual safe market trend?
I saw many posts/ads related to buying existing Google Play Console account... even a lot of job posts on freelancing websites!
