These type of business's don't go under, they just change there name.
Most scam agencies (usually consisting of about two people) have a fair investment in computer equipment, data, web help and web design. Once a scan agencies has been identified and there name get's out, they just change names.
There are a handful of new named agencies in and around Lugansk now, one that was recently brought to my attention was an agency called Scarlet. Don't know anything about Scarlet, might be legit, just a new name to me. But I feel certain that Amur is still in business, just under a new name.
One thing guys should do when deal with agencies, ask the agency how long they have been in business, or how long have they had the name they are using and if they were ever in business under a new name.
If the company says the are new, bargin with them on there prices, as a new agency they should be doing whatever it takes to earn your business and making sure they please any and all clients. If the company says they have been around for a while, ask them in an e-mail for references. If they say they have been around, and cannot give you one, two verifiable references, I would say watch out!
