Someone clue me into how this works

So it seems that a lot of guys on craigslist are advertizing that they can get data on Verizon's network for really cheap. Even cheaper than Boost Mobile's 50c a day plan.

Verizon MiFi 2200 Remote Flashing Service | eBay

Scroll down lower in the page and under the map of Verizon's coverage you'll see that they're offering

$15 AIRTIME CARD = 1 MONTH​

$30 AIRTIME CARD = 3 MONTHS [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]$100 AIRTIME CARD = 12 MONTHS​

​

[/FONT] I'm scoured Verizon's prepaid side. I cant find this deal anywhere? Obviously it exists as a lot of folks on ebay are doing this.

Someone clue me in.

I haven't seen anything like this, sounds a little fishy to me.

They're having you buy a phone and then transfer its ESN to a non-phone.

It's beyond fishy.
