Today I noticed one of my apps (and only one) got a strange jump in ratings. 
 Approximately +124 four star ratings and +124 comments (but there are no 
comments to go with this, in the console) - this actually brings the average 
rating of the app down half a star...  This is highly unusual as before this 
the app only had 57 ratings with ~18k total installs, 7k active, which 
follows the typical rating per user percentages I've seen with my other 
apps.  This is a live wallpaper, a free version.  The live wallpaper space 
seems pretty polluted right now with people stealing art from deviantart and 
other places and just putting tons and tons of them in the market, with 
useless updates to keep showing up in "just in," on older markets.  I'm not 
paranoid about it, but there's definitely people out there trying to game 
the system, and of course the market glitches we've all seen.  I do see one 
comment that appeared earlier today, that references a wallpaper other than 
mine, which confused me, before this happened.

Has anyone else seen this?  I don't really know of anywhere else to report 
this (other than the typical /dev/null), other than just throwing it out 
there that something strange happened and seeing who else experienced it!
