I hope it's ok to write here as user is banned and shitlist concluded.
Guys, it's 99% that 'thetraveller' that was banned is not the original person who created the account. Someone bought/hacked it for a quick scam. Refund via Paypal, recharge via bank if you can.
If you look at the post history, 'thetraveller' was a real user until May 23. After that it's just spamming of the 'Hire a Freelancer' threads whit questionable English. Either 'thetraveller' had a change of heart and decided to make a quick buck by scamming everyone or more realistically the account was bought by a new person. Everyone should go for any refund method they can get from PayPal or their banks.

Jr. VIPs are required to have 2FA enabled, so it's very unlikely that the account was hacked. Could be sold, though.

If various member's hypothesis of the account being sold by someone and bought by someone, is true, then let me do a "karma" analysis based on this hypothesis. The person who sold the account, seems to have done something blackhat, in other words broken some rule that accounts cannot be traded, he exploited some "loopholes" and sold his account, typical blackhat strategy. Even in the marketplace of BHW there are accounts of various platforms being sold, we all are into blackhat in some way or another. The person who bought the account will attract bad karma, as he scammed people.

Yes.
I'd never deal with suspect looking accounts, such as a 2017 account who has posted all 80+ posts in less than 1 week. EG;

, but this is how scammers operate, as soon as they know they were Shitlisted, they vanish from here, wait a short while the come back under a different name. I am NOT saying this is the case here, but why a 5 1/2 year old account suddenly comes active, alarm bells should be riinging.MoonTurtle

He tried to sell me a link on a website i am the webmaster on.
after i left negative feedback on his account, then later threatened to send spam links to the website.

Sadly that description fits 90% of Backlink sellers. (you can replace India with a lot of other countries)

He said the same thing to me from the exact same Philippines based PP account.
it’s all part of the scam I think, just continue on with the dispute.

I wouldn't worry about this, I am pretty sure he can't do anything apart from scamming people

That could be possible. The scammer probably reached out to him (the PayPal owner) acting like a legitimate business owner and promising him a percentage to use his PayPal account to receive payment and send him, say, crypto.
The scammer then sells fake services to users here, and once they complain he asks them to initiate a chargeback instead of offering a direct refund, knowing that he's already gotten the crypto and the PayPal owner would be the one bearing the loss.
He rinses and repeat by contacting new PayPal account holders, buying new aged BHW accounts etc etc
