False 0.00000001 transactions showing up to several of my addresses.

Hello,

So, I have been seeing false 0.00000001 transactions show up to several of my addresses in my Multibit wallet.
These never confirm, some are stuck on 1 confirm, others at 3, and if I check at blockchain.info, there is no record of any such transaction.

As I found this scary, exported my private keys, closed my wallet file, and reimported my the keys.
The phantom transactions were gone... for a time.. last night, they reappeared.

Has anyone seen this before?

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences!

This is happening to me too.

Also the transaction list is missing some transactions that really are there in blockchain. I've tried to reset blockhain within Multibit, but it does not help.

In my case, two 0.00000001 incoming transaction sent to the same old receiving adress (created and used once in march 2013)

You are sane! it's actually a scam. there was some threads describing the same situsation, one of them is here  - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=469945.0

Yeah - they are quite annoying spam.
The most recent version of bitcoinj has a spam filter to get rid of these and the next version of MultiBit will be using these.

It should be out this week - preparing it now.

I updated Multibit to 0.5.17 and all 1 satoshi transactions gone.
