Amy Rollison replacing Nancy Richards at the trainpetdog scam

We received a few emails today letting us know that "Amy Rollison" of Trainpetdog contacted them for the trainpetdog.com reward, and the request to put the trainpetdog seal on their site.
This is the text:


 "Dear, Congratulations! You have been selected

Congratulations and we look forward to receiving
your details for the award code.
Best regards, Amy Rollison www.TrainPetDog.com" 


It is obvious that the email is too generic for attentive site owners to fall for this scam. Others do a routine search for everyone who approaches them. Both good approaches.

Here three people/sites who went ahead and posted the 'reward' on their dog-related site:
Germandshepherdworld
Yorkie Treasures
Shadowvalleygoldens

We'll notify them and suggest that they might want to remove scammer seals.
Watch out for Amy Rollison of trainpetdog! 

UPDATE: The world is strange! We were so kind to notify the sites above, two per email, and the German Shepherd World via a comment on their site. Guess what? They apparently rather remove our comment than the scammer's seal. So now you know that too. Here is our second post. The sequence of the number of views (172 and 173 respectively) you can see we are not fooling you. They really removed the post!


And then they removed it (again!):

We tried one more time:


And they removed it for a third time:


Strange??? We think it is strange.
