Last year, Solar Agency ran ads across numerous Telegram channels asking: "Are you looking for a reliable company to rent agency ad accounts from?"

Apparently, plenty of affiliate marketers believed the pitch and started working with the provider. That was until recently, when both agencies suddenly deleted their work chats and stopped responding altogether.

What's more, other teams claim they were refused refunds of funds already deposited into their account balances. The total estimated losses now exceed $400K.

It looks like the agency owner may have decided around eight months ago that he no longer wanted to run a Facebook agency account business and was simply waiting for the right moment to walk away with as much money as possible.

So, we're seeing another classic scam story in affiliate marketing, just on a much larger scale.

After all, Sky/Solar Agency had been operating in the market for quite some time and had positive reviews from industry peers. Protecting yourself against this kind of scam by spotting red flags is extremely difficult. The only real option is to diversify your risks and never rely on a single provider.
