Weird false sale push messages through the Paypal app.

    I have been using the Paypal application for Iphone for atleast a month now, and it has correctly informed me of any sales I have had, until today.

    It works this way: Every time someone purchase my product I receive a push message saying that X has sent me X amount of money.

    Today, I have received 6-8 of the same push messages informing me that:

    "You have received €XX,XX EUR from ApTeM P*******"

    The same name every time. (The last name is censored in case this person actually exists)

    Once I login to my paypal account, no sales are registered.

    Anyone experienced something like this?

    I wrote to paypal concerning this issue. Apparently someone is trying to make a purchase and his card is being rejected every time. This triggers a push message.

    Lets hope this guy gets his hands on a working creditcard soon :)
