Hope you had insurance.....


What would you ask your agent for? 

"I'm looking for mugging and anal-raping insurance"?  Because if he doesn't get his stuff, he got robbed AND screwed ;D

I'm in the UK and could call him on his mobile.  It'd be a nice change from ringing up leasing agents trying to find a nice flat at a reasonable price  :-\

I was going to, but then I remembered I haven't purchased anything from him and he lives in another country. 

So I just continued not calling him.

Try getting rid of the 0 at the beginning.

who lives close to him? is that the proper area code? is it a fake?

That's pretty bad when the phone company knows it's you just by the way you dialed.  Evidently you're known all over now ;D
