I don't know if this ad is for real or one of those scams but the horse is nice!

I google'd the phone number, and was surprised that I got infomation on the number. Seems like this number covers much...but will ask for infomation such as a credit card number in order for you to recieve their "prize". This link says it all...

I believe this is definitely a scam ad

I saw this horse listed as a stallion (same picture that anyone could have) with the name "Pie" (he must have read "National Velvet"). The ad was definitely placed by someone who knows nothing about horses (especially Thoroughbreds). Neither name is in the database. EquineNow should probably be notified.
