Spam from market

I have recently been receiving spam from the market. It appears as a notification and when I look at it, it launches a link as though I have click on an app in the market.

Has anyone else been experiencing this and if so have any ideas where this is coming from or how to stop it?

What exactly does it say? Is it an email? Where does it direct you to? Have you recently installed any new apps?

It is just a notification in the notification bar. When I drop it down and open it it takes me to a link in the market the same as if I had clicked on a market app from within the market, showing free or the paid price along with the description and comments. These have all been free. As soon as I exit the app link the notification goes away.

I have not installed any new apps in the last month or so which is before this started happening.

It has to be coming from an app you have installed.
Only way I can think of is to uninstall apps one by one until it stops.

I would agree except that I have not installed any new apps since this began although some have updated.
