What kind of nonsense if this reasoning?
If I am making up for acc previous holder by PAYING back the amount he scammed, I think this is quite valid reason to lift the neg trust.

Could you elaborate on the logic behind leaving neg trust for me?

I left neg trust for people to get their attention, since as THEY WERE requesting me to respond, which I did by sending them PMs.
And instead of replying to my PMs they ignored me, so I don't see any other way to get their attention.
