They don’t.

They want to link a new GV account to a real phone number that is not theirs, so that they can use the GV number for other scams.

It only works when your phone number doesn’t already have a GV linked to it.

Wouldn't the victim have to send the code back to the scammer for it all to work?

Hey! I want to buy your used Ikea furniture!

Just a quick safety precaution to make sure: I'm going to text you a code, can you just send it back to me to confirm?

Thanks!

Seems easier to just buy a SIM card for cash, no?
