That's exactly what's going on. Go to one of these supposed "seized" sites, right-click and "View source". You'll see the seizure notice image is hosted on the same domain. (i.e., www.believeinmermaids.com...). If the DOJ had anything to do with it, I'm pretty sure the domain would be redirected to a DOJ page.
