| Someone should call the number, someone who knows all the right questions to ask, just to see what they have to say!

| It is hard to tell if it is a scam or not from the little information that is there. It most likely is a scam, but I would call the number and see what the whole story is.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | It has to be a scam and some poor person will fall for it.

| I think you'll be fine :-) They can't get anything from you with just that info. Let us know if they call you back! It's not a cell, it's a landline registered with Pacific Bell... so maybe it is just a typo?!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I wish you hadn't called, now they know your number, and couldn't they use it to spam you? Some of these companies get paid for every legitimate e-mail address or phone number they can get. I mean the whole thing is a double scam.

| I suppose that's possible but it seems like a lengthy way to get phone numbers when one can just pick up the phone book for random numbers. Guess we'll find out...

| No they cant spam me to my cell number, they dont have my email address. They could just call a lot. But then I can block the number very easily, I mean I have it. It's listed on the add... I just thought it was different to the other scams cause they list a local Hollywood number...

| Thats true too... I think it will be fine, and like I said, we can just block them if they decide to abuse our numbers..

| Oh wow. I would call for her. It has to be a typo for price or a total scam. Babies like that are not just laying around for under 200.00! |

| $180.00? In Hollywood Ca? OMG I am sorry but, this is so terrible, it made me feel like saying WTF? It will be interesting if ou will get a return call . Be careful too! These things can end up badly. Don't give out any of your personal information, or meet this indivdual anywhere! your safety comes first, no matter if it is a scam or not. The Yorkie baby is extremely cute. I see how unsuspecting people could fall for it.
