What happened? Description:

This person Jarrod, probably naming himself after the ghost inventory he's claiming to own, added me today saying he wished to do business with me for my knife. Jarrod then linked me to an inventory saying "you can also check my inventory so that i know what you want". Upon analyzing this inventory, it became apparent that the inventory did belong to a Jarrod. A Jarrod whose account is in no way connected to this man's account, and has been offline for 280 days at the time of writing. He claims it was a storage account, but upon asking him if he could perhaps log into it and change the description to prove that he is in fact capable of accessing it, he deletes and blocks me.​

Jarrod: how about knife for knife trade
Jarrod: you can also check my inventory so that i know what you want http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198332845471/inventory/
Naijin: That's not your profile.
Jarrod: its my storage account btw mate
Naijin: You haven't touched that account for 280 days.
Jarrod: you can also read my profile so that you can understand on it
Jarrod: i did not open thet account in steam app
Jarrod: im only using google chrome to send offers only
Jarrod: if you have question you can read my profile ok?
Naijin: Okay, so tell me how we're gonna trade this. You're gonna send me a trade offer, right?
Jarrod: yea
Jarrod: just send me your trade url so that i can send my offer
Jarrod: ok?
Naijin: And there's not gonna be a message about SteamPay?
Jarrod: and tell me what you want so that i can decide for it
Naijin: https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=207138222&token=qWm0vIKE
Naijin: Open to offers, nothing specific in mind
Jarrod: ok sure
Jarrod: sec
Naijin: Just for the purpose of this trade, could you make your profile inventory public?
Jarrod: i already have my storage account so that you can see all my csgo stuff
Jarrod: right ?
Naijin: No, I mean this account
Naijin: Or just add me on that account so I know it's legit, either or.
Jarrod: hopefully you understand me why i dont add people in my storage account so that i can secure all my stuff and items
Naijin: Then maybe change your name for 2 seconds? Or add a profile description.
Jarrod: coz im afraid now to lose again my stuff worths 5000$
Naijin: I won't do business with you until you can confirm that you can log into that account, even if that's as simple as changing the profile bio
Jarrod: its ok coz i have lots of traders here and your not only one its ok if you lose my offer
Jarrod: thanks btw
Jarrod: ja bless
Naijin: Yeah, that's what I thought homie.
Naijin: I mean, all you'd have to do is log into your account.. Which you obviously know the password to, because it's your account.. And just edit the bio. And then you have a knife, voila.
Naijin: Can you do that?
Naijin: If you're not willing to verify your authenticity, you're not gonna go far in trading.
Naijin: I mean, the account isn't even friends with you bro. Just prove you're not a scammer and we have a deal.
Jarrod is now Offline.
