PayPal credit of 1p but I don't use it!

9th March I had a deposit of £0.01 with a 4 digit code in my bank account. Does this mean someone else has linked my bank account to their PayPal? I haven't used it recently. I even closed my account in 2015. Should I be worried and get my bank involved?

EDIT: Spoke to bank, cancelled unauthorised direct debit. It seems any old Tom, Dick or Harry can set up DDs on anyone else's bank account these days.

I've been looking for that 1p, I lost it on Thursday. Can you send it back to me?

It's gone down the back of the sofa now. No chance.

aren't you meant to get 2 payments, which you use as a code of sorts to verify it?
