I get five e-mails this morning informing me of refunds for 5 of my files. I look at my download history - because I remember seeing those files go by in the download summary. The refunds were supposedly from purchases on 01/11. However, three of those fives files were downloaded again, in sequenctial order, on 1/15 at the EXACT same time! There are no downloads listed on 1/11 - perhaps erased(?).
I am not a conspiracy theory kind of person, but I would think the likelihood of three dis-similar images being downloaded again on the same day at the same exact time would be suspicious. Note that I rarely get refund notices. I have never received 5 in one day!
Has anyone else had similar issues pop up?

Can't say anything about the rest but this is normal - with a refund a download actually gets cancelled, and therefore the entry in the Download History gets removed. This has always been the case.

Sounds like one of their notorious frauds.
You'd think they'd have a system in place to instantly highlight this sort of pattern.
