I think I've figured out the problem and it's not what you think :-)
let me give you a little bit of background:
In order to crate a this particular wallet I was using "Brain wallets" (which is basically a sha-256 of a text), but I was using simple words like "black" and "white".
I think this simple "words" are part of a databases of "simple" KEYS, which could be easily generated from any source of "public common passwords".

What I think happened is that somebody is "scanning" the "memory pool" of the block chain for any money going to those addresses and immediately run a Vin on those, and they are using the TestNetwork to "test it" :-)

In order to test this "theory" this time I've created a trully random KEY and copy and pasted into the Electron wallet (via WIF) and nothin happened.

I appreciate the comments,

For those that asked for the link to the source code I didn't poste them because it's currently connecting to a "Bitcoin Explorer" that i'm developing (in conjunction with the wallet) an is in my internal network.
As soon as it's stable enough I plan to put it public

Thanks again for all the support.
