I am trying to track down the phone number of Bearly Decent in L.A. 
The address is 8033 Sunset Blvd., Suite 851, Los Angeles, California,
90046.  They may also be known as "Barely Decent" or "Bearly Decent
Enterprises"...

Dear moggys,

I have found a phone number that will satisfy your needs. First, I
searched for the company's name, but none of the results contained a
number. Then, I used the address including the suite as search term -
and this time, I was successful. Suite 851 at Sunset Boulevard 8033 is
the office of an enterprise in adult entertainment business, operating
under several names, among them Barely Decent, FOXE - Fans of X-Rated
Entertainment, Night of the Stars, and P.A.W. - Protecting Adult
Welfare. There is no doubt that all these names stand for one and the
same company. And this is their phone number:

(213) 656-6545

Search terms used:
"8033 Sunset " 90046 "suite 851":
://www.google.de/search?hl=de&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%228033+Sunset+%22+90046+%22suite+851%22&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=
"213-656-6545":
://www.google.de/search?q=%22213-656-6545%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=de&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=

Hope this helps!
Regards,
Scriptor

Dear moggys,

This is very unpleasant for me. I was, alas, not able to test the
number in order to verify it, since I am ca. 4400 miles away from Los
Angeles. I was sure that the mere number of websites where this phone
number is mentioned proved its existance. However, since the phone
number is not working, you are of course entitled to a free re-posting
of your question. In case you would like this, please contact the
Google Answers Editors via e-mail: answers-editors@google.com

Please accept my apologies

Thanks for being so gracious about this.  It's ok.  But I would like
to get a working phone number.  So, maybe I'll mail the
answers-editors.  Thanks.

Dear moggys,

the phone number you are searching.

I was trying to track down the phone number of a business.  The
researcher found it for me, but the number didn't work.

Loved that the researcher included the way in which he/she researched
the problem.  Next time I can be a bit smarter about searching.  :)

Did you try the number using 310 as an area code by chance? Area codes
split up a few times in recent history for the Los Angeles area.
Another area codes for that region is 818.

323 is also a new area code in the LA area
