And must have burnt burnt their bridges with CCS.
They say a month. But maybe they only need a few minutes - long enough to login to an account, copy or modify data on the card in a SIM reader, etc.
Anyone can buy a SIM card with cash from a retailer and activate it with garbage information and a junk email account (also created with garbage information) on a public computer. It wouldn't matter on a temporary, cheap, disposable number - and it just can't get much more anonymous.
Who cares about CCS? There's plenty of physical vendors and plenty of online vendors - including Public Mobile itself. We're talking about an item which costs only $5 or $10, most people have a retailer within a few miles and can just walk out of the store with a new (activated or unactivated) SIM card in their pocket, it's hardly worth ordering online - from a unknown source you can't take it back to - and waiting for days or even weeks for it to arrive - just to save a whole two dollars.
A little surprising that someone on ebay seems willing to pay for someone else to do it. That's why it looks scammy.
Maybe they expect/hope you'll use the (compromised, copied, hacked, modified?) SIM card yourself after it's returned from the "rental". After a month of who-knows-what has been logged onto it - telemarketing, scam, fraud, phishing, harassment calls? drug deals? hitman negotiations? - the most absolutely stupid thing anyone could do. They might as well buy the SIM card from you instead, even if it was uncompromised it wouldn't be worth the cost of shipping back, if they don't want to keep it after a month they can throw it away themselves.
