i don't think you were specifically targeted. My suspicion is there may be some degree of random checks, and also checks to see where you transfer funds with Wise which may raise a flag? I have an International Wise (I use my German address where i typically stay for 6 weeks or so per year) that I still retain. I do NOT (as of yet) use Wise very much for fund transfer to Thailand. i do use Wise for transfer of funds internal to Europe - and I use my Wise debit card for payments in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Italy, France, and other locations when travelling. A couple of years back Wise sent to me a bunch of questions for proof of my income source and questions as to whom I was sending money to. I contacted Wise directly, confirmed that the Wise request was not a scam, and I then provided proof of my European income, proof of my Canadian income, an explanation as to what Australian remittances were (they are payments to me from a friend paying back a personal loan), ... and I provided an explanation as to whom & why I was regularly transferring money to (in Ukraine, for example). That seemed to satisfy them then. That was the long version to you not being targeted in Isolation. In short, I do not think you were targeted in isolation. Most of us likely never bother posting about such.
