Fake Job Ad?

Currently employed part time ( I don't want to say what or where as it could be outing) have been fed up for quite a while but I have seen a job advert (on a job search website for the same place but different 'department' which I wouldn't mind applying for. The job I do now is permanent and I get paid directly from an employer, where the other job is advertised via an agency. I have looked up the agency online and the job isn't listed there. The reviews on google for the agency aren't great. Also, I know that this isn't the agency the other department usually use for outsourced employee's. What would you think? A fake ad? I don't really want to go asking at work as I don't want anyone to know I'm looking to leave what I am doing now, iukwim?

Ring the agency?

Tried that just keeps going to voicemail!

It's increasingly looking like a fake ad. Their base/office isn't

exactly nearby either, a good 80+ miles.

If it’s on a particular job site report the job to them and they will investigate.

It now appears the same job has come up with a different agency, although there are slight differences, time starts/finishes & this new one definitely says temporary and they do have this ad on their agency website. Another difference is that it also states they would like the candidate to have experience which I don't particularly have. It is for the same job/place though, I can tell from the area stated and the actual name place as stated in both ads.
