I second that. Good agencies will pretty quickly tell you who they are
working for and the salary and general benefits on offer.

An agency that tells you they have a job and then mysteriously it is
no longer in offer should be distrusted.

One has to keep in mind that in the same agencies there are chaps very
helpful and ethical and there are others who must have been in no
hpnest profession prior to their current job :-)
