I've been trying to create a Google account, but the SMS verification just refuses to work for me. Does anyone want to create/sell a Google account? Has to be with a non-gmail address, otherwise they don't let you change the e-mail. I'll give a $10 visa gift card for your trouble. Private message me if interested.

    Spam/scam, avoid.

    It could be an old unused account from before they required verification then... it wasn't long ago they only made you do a CAPTCHA to get an account.

    So how does this scam work?

    Couldn't you do a verification via a telephone call instead of SMS? I'm pretty sure there is an option for that there.
