Win by abandonment? What's going on???

I just started playing chess after THE MOVIE.  So far, in 44 games, I have "won" 6 or 7 by abandonment.  In most of the abandoned games, I had a very slight edge on my opponents.  But not enough that my opponents would have or should have resigned.

My rating is at least 100 points overstated and I have a won-loss record I don't deserve.

What's going on?  Should I care?

It happens. Dont worry. You may now be slightly over rated and benefit from playing tougher opponents. For whatever reason some players decide not to complete their games or just forget.
