Payment Status is Completed even though no Credit Card information was entered

We recently started using the Authorize.Net AIM payment gateway for EE. We use EE to reserve picnic shelters in our parks. We ran into a situation where even though a payment transaction was declined by Authorize.Net because the credit card information was never entered, the payment status shows as Completed/Paid and the number of available shelters is decreased by 1 as though a valid transaction was completed. If we look at the attendees screen in the EE dashboard, we see the green check mark for a paid/completed transaction. However, if we then look at the registration details, the status reads “complete”, but the transaction id and paid date are blank (“N/A”) and the amount paid is “$0.00”. The transaction response code was 3 and the subresponse code was 2.

Our default payment status is set to “incomplete”.

We also did a transaction and used an invalid credit card number – so this time we entered a cc number, but it was a bad one. This time, the payment status shows as “Payment Declined” and the shelter remains available for that day. The response code is 3 and the subresponse code is 1.

What would be causing the first scenario – not entering any credit card into – to display as a completed/paid transaction? And how do we fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help
