I sent a payment through Paypal for a spot in a random group break to the LCS. I usually include a note with them saying that I may or may not want the base cards depending on the team I drew.

1. Purpose of payment [XXXXXX] attempted on December 30,
2016 in the amount of $[XXXXX]CAD, including a complete and detailed
explanation of the goods or services you intended to purchase. Please also
explain the transaction message: "The Base ."

Can you think of any reason why this would trigger an account review?

Don't know if this is the reason but 'Base' is used as drug slang and there is a Anarchist group in NYC called 'The Base'..

I forwarded the mail to the breakers and they thought 'The Base' might of been a supposed reference to a military base. That's the first time they'd seen it as well.

It's like saying "bomb" on a plane now. Blowout forums is now on a list just for this thread being made and mentioning "the base."

I'm guessing drug reference as well. Other things you should not put in your eBay listings or it will screw with PayPal: Nazi or Cuban

Pity it didn't say "Your Base". Could've meant the come back of a wicked awesome meme.
