This is more educational than entertaining. One angle Shopify scammers use is to tell you that your domain isn't registered in Google Search Console. They then tell you that this limits your visibility in Google. They show you a video of the error screen when they try to verify it in Google Search Console. You cannot register a domain if you don't own it, so it makes sense that he gets an error. Scammers try to convince you that this is something they need to do, but I start questioning and the scammer gives up.
If you have a domain and the web dev or SEO shows you a screen from their computer giving them an error about domain verification failure, this is a scam. Only the owner of a domain can verify it, or the person handling your domain (if you have someone doing it for you). You need access to the files on the website server or access to the domain's nameserver (DNS) to register a domain with Google, so any outsider claiming that your domain can't be registered and showing you an error screen in Search Console is trying to scam you.
Error screen is the last image.
