    I've stuck it on linkedin - happy to credit you Damon, but didn't want to without your say-so in case you need to do future business with the agent in question!

          NP! Adam Webb isn't real either by the looks of it.

            I saw that, though you might want to label it fake ad or summat, as it just looks like you're promoting the agency, as you've got a link to the agency as well as the ad.

              No idea what I'm doing - linked in is the other end of the scale from intuitive!

                I used to work for the ASA so don't particularly fancy bothering my old colleagues (many of whom are still v good friends of mine), but this is definitely worth a complaint/investigation if someone else fancies doing the needful.

                  I dont understand - do recruitment agencies sometimes put up fake ads?

                    Not convinced

                    I'm not saying there are no fake ads, but I don't see how you can tell ?

                    If an agency puts out ads for real jobs, the easiest thing is to take one of these and adapt it for the purpose.

                      Really?
