Phase 1: Initial Online Research (Before First Contact)

What to look for: Multiple Google reviews (50+ ideal), mentions on Reddit, creator forums, Twitter testimonials. Red flag: Zero online presence or only 1-star reviews complaining about scams.

Subreddits to check: r/onlyfansadvice, r/onlyfans101, r/CreatorsAdvice. Look for both positive mentions AND complaints. Red flag: Multiple scam warnings or creators saying "they took my money and disappeared."

Search your state's business registry (e.g., California Secretary of State) for LLC/Corporation registration. Green flag: Registered business with 2+ years history. Red flag: No registered entity or brand new registration (under 6 months).

Use whois.com to check how long website has existed. Green flag: Domain 2+ years old. Red flag: Website created in last 3-6 months (could be scam operation).

Green flags: Detailed service descriptions, team photos, case studies, contact info, professional design. Red flags: Generic template, stock photos only, vague service descriptions, no team info.

Check Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn for agency accounts. Green flag: Active accounts with real engagement, creator testimonials, industry content. Red flag: New accounts, bought followers (high follower count but 10 likes per post), or no social presence.

Phase 2: Initial Consultation Evaluation

Did they: Ask detailed questions about YOUR goals/situation? Provide realistic projections? Explain services clearly? Green flag: Detailed needs assessment, honest about timelines. Red flag: Generic sales pitch, no questions about you, unrealistic guarantees.

Ask for written document listing: Exact platforms managed, post frequency per platform, chat coverage hours, reporting cadence, DMCA monitoring frequency. Red flag: Refuses to provide written details or gives vague "we do everything" descriptions.

Ask: "Will you need my OnlyFans password?" Correct answer: "No, we use official OnlyFans agency access/dashboard sharing." Red flag: "Yes, we need your password to manage account" = SCAM or security risk.

Green flag: Clear commission percentage (20-40%) with no hidden fees, explained simply. Red flag: Vague pricing, "sliding scale" without clear criteria, setup fees over $500, or "we'll discuss pricing later."

Phase 3: Results Verification

What to demand: Before/after earnings screenshots (dates visible), creator names (with permission) or blurred but verifiable data, specific niche details, timeline of growth. Red flag: "We can't share results due to privacy" or only generic "Creator A went from $5K to $50K!"

Green flag: Agency provides contact info for current creators you can speak with directly. Red flag: Refuses references, only offers prepared testimonials you can't verify, or gives you fake references (test by googling the names/numbers).

Check: Are growth timelines realistic (4-8 months, not "30 days")? Are screenshots recent (2026-2026, not 2020)? Do earnings match niche expectations? Red flag: Suspicious screenshots, unrealistic timelines, or all case studies from 3+ years ago.

If they mention creator names, find them on social media/OnlyFans. Verify they actually exist and work with the agency. Red flag: Can't find creators mentioned, or creators deny working with agency when you contact them.

Phase 4: Contract & Legal Review

Green flag: Agency provides complete contract for your review with no pressure. Red flag: "You need to sign NDA before seeing contract" or "contract comes after you commit."

Hire entertainment/contract attorney to review. Green flag: Agency encourages legal review, offers to wait 1-2 weeks for your attorney. Red flag: Pressures you to sign immediately, discourages legal review.

Green flag: 3-6 month initial term, then month-to-month. Red flag: 12-24 month locked contract, massive cancellation penalties ($5,000+), or "lifetime" agreements.

Contract must explicitly state: "Creator owns 100% of content" and "Creator owns all subscriber relationships." Red flag: Agency claims ownership of subscribers, content, or ongoing commission post-termination.

Green flag: One commission percentage, zero additional fees. Red flag: "30% commission + $500 software fee + $300 marketing fee" = hidden costs inflating true commission.

Phase 5: Team & Infrastructure Verification

Questions: How many creators do you currently manage? How many chatters will be assigned to me? Who is my account manager? Green flag: Specific answers with reasonable creator-to-manager ratios (1 manager per 10-20 creators). Red flag: Vague answers, "we have huge team" without specifics, or 1 person managing 200+ creators.

Ask: How do you ensure 24/7 coverage? How many chatters work shifts? How do you train chatters to sound like me? Green flag: Detailed shift system, chatter training process, voice-matching protocols. Red flag: "We have chatters" with no details on coverage/training.

Ask: How often will we communicate? What reports will I receive and when? Who do I contact with questions? Green flag: Weekly/biweekly check-ins, monthly detailed reports, dedicated account manager contact. Red flag: "We'll reach out when needed" or no clear communication structure.

Phase 6: Final Due Diligence

Never sign with the first agency you consult. Interview minimum 3-5 agencies to compare: Services, pricing, communication style, results, contract terms. This gives you leverage for negotiation and prevents scam desperation.

If something feels off (pressure tactics, too-good-to-be-true promises, vague answers, unprofessional communication), trust that feeling. Better to pass on a "maybe" agency than sign with a scam.

Legitimate agencies understand major decisions require time. Green flag: "Take 1-2 weeks to research, review contract with attorney, and decide." Red flag: "This offer expires tonight" or "sign today or we move to next creator."

Mistake #1: Skipping Online Research (Only Doing One Call)

Many creators schedule one consultation call, like what they hear, and sign immediately. This is how scams succeed. ALWAYS do independent online research (Google reviews, Reddit, business verification) BEFORE and AFTER initial call.

Mistake #2: Not Comparing Multiple Agencies (Signing with First One)

Interview minimum 3-5 agencies before deciding. This gives you: (1) Comparison points for pricing/services, (2) Leverage for negotiation, (3) Better sense of what's standard vs. exceptional, (4) Protection against pressure tactics ("sign now or lose spot" doesn't work when you have 4 other options).

Mistake #3: Not Reading the Contract Thoroughly

80% of creators sign contracts without reading every page. Then they're shocked by 12-month lock-ins, cancellation penalties, or ownership clauses. Read EVERY word. Hire attorney if you don't understand legal language. $300 attorney review saves $30,000 in contract traps.

Mistake #4: Trusting Verbal Promises (Not Getting Everything in Writing)

"We'll definitely provide weekly reports!" "You can cancel anytime!" "We guarantee 5x growth!" Unless it's in the contract, it's meaningless. Demand written confirmation of all promises. Legitimate agencies will add important promises to contracts; scams won't.
