Clearing BLOGMANIA's Name

I am excited to be a part of the Blogmania Dream Team this year. I have not participated in years past.

Word has been spreading around the Blogosphere regarding what looks like a blog hop giveaway SCAM where Gina was involved...

Gina Parker and Parker PR Online are NOT a part of Blogmania. It is owned, run and coordinated by Bree @ What Matters Most?

If you poke around this cute blog, Friday's postings (3 of them) have info about the situation:

A message from Bree:

Blogmania is a twice a year event that we are proud to be a part of. However, last season it was owned by someone that may be involved with a recent blog hop scam....although we don't have both sides the appearance is sure there.
We felt it important to let you know that as of mid-November Gina Parker, Parker PR Online, ceased from any operations of Blogmania and the Dream Team. She has no access to passwords, forums and information.
We have labored hard to continue to make Blogmania, now in it's 3rd season, a growing success. Yes, due to some harsh interactions we are rebuilding from last year. But, we are building towards growth and gaining great strength. We will have this great event continue year after year. We pride ourselves on quality sponsors and large giveaways. While there were some bloggers and sponsors that did not make good on their prizes (those people are not involved this year) we are working eliminating those issues with some steps we have in place.
We do not know what is going on with Gina but do want you to know that she is not a part of Blogmania. For more information, questions, concerns, etc please see this posting with more details: http://breebee.com/2011/01/clearing-blogmanias-name.html and you can email Bree, bree at breebee dot com as well.
Thank you bloggers for your amazing support! We all love blogging and do feel sadden that there are dishonest people out there!
Warmest Regards,
