In the past day I have sold dozens of gift certificates via paypal. All to different customers and from different generic gmail addresses. Obviously fake.
I'll dispute/refund the orders in paypal but its been going on all day.
Any ideas as to why someone would do this?

To steal money from stolen card(s)/accounts, what else?
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
