I recently wrote about how the agency account provider industry is full of scammers — guys who are happy to offer incredibly attractive terms, only to disappear with your money at the first opportunity.

Well, something similar reportedly happened with Vagency just the other day — clients allegedly lost $57K (and that's only what's been made public; the actual amount is most likely at least three times higher). Yet everything about them looked completely legitimate:

• They bought advertising placements in major industry media outlets;
• They promised extremely attractive commission rates and significant savings compared to other agency account providers;
• They even guaranteed refunds if certain conditions were met.

Even highly experienced media buyers fell for this scam. If you're a beginner, you definitely shouldn't count on getting lucky with some unknown provider offering a 1% commission and expect them to turn out to be legitimate.

The best evidence that an agency isn't a scam is a genuinely long, verifiable track record in the market + reviews from real people.

And knowing how scammers operate, they usually come back and launch similar projects under new names. So it's worth being extremely careful when choosing your agency account provider (no referral link this time).
