Back to the OP. It's a shame that scammers will try and steal someone's hard work through sneaky means. On a related note to those of you who have a breeding program , website,blog or even just post photos here on YT; take a simple precaution and and watermark your pictures to help keep them from being lifted and used by someone else. It's easy to do in Photoshop Elements (just create a semi-transparent layer over your photo with your identifying info on it) . You can also do it in Picassa photo editing software- it's free. If anyone needs some help with it, please PM me and I will be glad to help you.

Does that watermark stay on permanently? Ie; if someone has photoediting software couldn't they just remove it?
