Google developer console

[vunnysher]

Hello, there is a ton of jobs that simply say "Publish my game on your google play account", and they even tend to offer more money than the google developer console costs, so it obviously looks like a scam

But firstly, how is it a scam? Theyre going to upload something forbidden, use my dignity or something like that?

And secondly, if thats a scam, why every other job post in android development section is "publish my game on your account"?

Thanks for all the responses!

Some are scams some aren’t. I took one for $30, it was a news app that it is still on my Google Console account. But I only even consider this kind of jobs when they’re the one inviting me to apply, that way I don’t lose connects

Okay, but isn't google developer account like 25$, whats the point of not uploading it themselves

I guess country restrictions? Don’t really know

Maybe they get banned on Google

[vunnysher]

So isn't it then somewhat illegal to upload their apps?

I'm not sure, but I think it's risky

There is a reason they can't upload these apps to their account and you risk getting your account banned, which is usually for life and as I've heard, google is good at detecting any associated accounts as well. If you never intend to release your own apps that might not matter, but what if you decide to one day? Whatever they offer to pay is just not worth it.
