TSB Paypal Random Call

Options
Has anyone else had calls from TSB randomly asking about Paypal payments.

They were asking about 3 of them (I use paypal a lot for buying things and getting back refunds). It caught me off guard but the caller confirmed they weren't about anything fraudelent and the call was to ask what the paypal payments were for. I checked the number and they were TSB.

When I pressed the woman more she said that they check with customers on things like this but didn't know anything more but might be to do with checking if my account is the best one to use if i was buying and selling (which I'm not). It all sounded very strange.

Anyone had this?

    It's possibly a 'can we flog you a business account?' call if I'm honest.

    Not had one, but they seem to think you're using a personal account for business.

    it was strange as she wasn't trying to book me in for a chat - she just said that might be the reason as in to make sure its the right account for you but didn't seem to know more.

    I think i was cautious as i had £800 took out of my account recently due to fraud
