Adblockplus trying to trick users?

Just wondering what you think of this and if you've seen it before. A few months back an elderly relative of mine subscribed to adblockplus premium without knowing how.

Today I saw how it happened - after they clicked Paypal when checking-out on an unrelated website, at that exact moment a "adblockplus has been updated" tab opened. The tab started out scrolled right to the bottom where it had the option to checkout and had paypal selected as payment option.

I think that's a little predatory, am I just overreacting? I did manage to get them to refund the original one.
