Best way to handle Paypal's phone calls?
 

Usually when I do large transactions, I get a call from Paypal asking what my recent transactions were. So far, I've told them what the transactions were for and it has worked fine.

However, some users on this forums have stated that telling the operator that the account holder is unavailable at the time also works, no limitations, and absolutely no hassle in telling the operator what you bought.

Does this work? What is the best way to handle Paypal's phone calls?

Usually Paypal calls when your IP address changes and you're making large transactions under it. They want to make sure you're the real owner. Are you changing your IP address a lot? That could be the reason they're calling you so often.

Probably so, but my question is more directed towards handling the call.

This has happened twice both times i say the person is not home at this time. (If paypal had a voice recognition system i would be screwed lol). They didnt limit and i didnt have any problems.
