Agency not picking up..confused_smile

Hi guys, I'm a newbie and I recently decided to give a shot of love to one of the local providers in my area found here on TER. The agency has a website that gives you a form to fill out your personal information in order for them to verify, and stated they would call back within 24 hours. Now, I understand some providers will need to verify your identity through your work place, however I'm working independently as a music editor in my own studio, I really dont have a "office" phone, so I put same number for that as my contact number. It's been 3 days now and no reply, I contacted them through the phone number given here yet no response also, no one simply picks up. Is my provider not picking up because I looked sketchy by putting up the same phone number? help please, appreciated.

Is it an agency or just a form on her web site?  

I would try an e-mail...  and start by explaining you are self employed.  Expect to give more information for verification.

Thanks a lot for replying skb, it is an agency with a respectable number of reviews of their providers, not very recent reviews but in the couple of months range. That form is directly sent to the mailbox i think. One other note, I noticed some agencies generally dont like younger guys as they are more prone to trouble, and I'm just in my late twenties.. and as I mention since I'm a newbie I dont have any references.. but even with all those possible factor, I'd think a somewhat established and reviewed agency would at least let me know that we can't do business rather than just completely shut me out before I can even explain anything >.> Any providers out there that can tell me is this a norm in dealing with uncertain customers?

but you're spot on about some (most?) providers not seeing "younger" fellows. My personal limit is no one under 21 - and that's only because if I want to meet in a lounge, the under-21 fellow can't go there. BTW, other names for providers of my ilk are MILF, cougar and cradle-robber. Meh...
