As advertising platforms tighten AI-driven moderation and step up advertiser verification, a stable and compliant advertising infrastructure has become a matter of survival for many businesses. GDT Agency, a brand of GDT Group Services Company Limited founded by Henry Duy, has grown from an agency ad account provider in Hanoi in 2021 to serving clients in 18 countries. This article looks back on that journey based on information published by the company, along with its competitive advantages and the new challenge the brand now faces: impersonation for fraud.
AI-Driven Moderation Turns Ad Infrastructure Into A Question Of Trust
Facebook, Google and TikTok are the main sales channels for millions of businesses, yet these platforms increasingly rely on AI to screen content and advertisers. According to Meta, the company removed more than 159 million scam ads worldwide in 2025 alone, about 92% of them before any user reported them.
Also, according to Meta (announced in March 2026), verified advertisers now account for about 70% of its ad revenue, and Meta aims to raise that share to 90% by the end of 2026. On Google’s side, its 2024 Ads Safety Report says it suspended 39.2 million advertiser accounts that year, more than three times the 12.7 million suspended in 2023.
These figures show that platforms are enforcing violations at an industrial scale and treating identity verification as the new standard. For businesses, the consequences are very real: according to guidance from several Meta-integrated tools, new, unverified accounts with little history are more likely to be flagged, and a single restriction can disrupt an entire revenue stream. Demand for stable, transparent, and compliant ad infrastructure has grown as a result. That is the gap GDT Agency set out to fill.
GDT Agency Was Born In 2021 Out Of Advertisers’ Real-World Difficulties
In 2021, GDT Agency launched in Hanoi, providing agency ad accounts to businesses, media buying teams, and affiliate networks. The brand is led by Henry Duy, founder and CEO, who has nearly a decade of experience in digital marketing and performance advertising.
According to the team, the idea grew out of problems advertisers commonly face: low spending limits in the early stages, long ad review times, unexpected account disruptions, and a lack of timely technical support. GDT Agency chose to build a stable operating infrastructure so clients could focus on their business instead of firefighting.

2022–2023: Covering Facebook, Google and TikTok and Strengthening Operations
According to GDT Agency, the company began offering ad account services on Facebook in June 2022, and on Google and TikTok in November 2022, covering the three largest advertising channels today. The same year, the team grew past 80 staff. In 2023, the company focused on strengthening its internal operations and service framework.
Expanding to the Philippines in 2024 and serving clients in 18 countries
In 2024, with a team of about 150 people, GDT Agency entered its international expansion phase. In September 2024, the brand announced the launch of its services in the Philippines through a press release published on ACCESSWIRE, aiming to help local businesses deal with issues such as spending limits and ad approval delays.
According to figures the company published in 2024, GDT Agency has worked with more than 500 partners and delivered more than 500 projects for clients from 18 countries.
The core advantage is agency accounts rather than accounts created inside a BM2500
The difference GDT Agency emphasizes is the type of account it provides. According to the company, many providers sell or rent accounts created inside high-tier Business Managers such as the BM2500, which allows up to 2,500 ad accounts under a single login. GDT Agency instead provides agency ad accounts shared from the Business Manager of a verified Meta partner.
According to an analysis on GDT Agency’s website, the difference comes down to three points:
- Structure: agency accounts operate under a verified partner’s Business Manager, whereas a BM2500 is a Business Manager whose account creation limit has been raised after identity verification and a compliant spending history.
- Risk distribution: when many accounts sit in one Business Manager, a violation on one account can put the whole system at risk, and a single restriction can cut off many linked accounts at once.
- Flexibility: according to the company, agency accounts offer more flexibility in spending limits, ad approval speed and direct support from the partner side.
GDT Agency itself acknowledges that the BM2500 suits certain needs, such as agencies managing more than 100 clients or high-volume affiliate networks. The right choice depends on each advertiser’s scale and business model.
Published fee schedule from 1.5% to 4% based on monthly ad budget
GDT Agency considers its current pricing among the most cost-effective for clients. According to the BM2500 analysis on its website, there is no standard price for rental services in the market: some providers charge a percentage of spend, others a fixed monthly fee. GDT Agency publishes a standard fee schedule based on monthly ad budget, with no account opening or setup fees.
| Monthly budget | Service fee |
| Up to USD 15,000 | 4.0% |
| USD 15,000–30,000 | 3.5% |
| USD 30,000–60,000 | 3.0% |
| USD 60,000–240,000 | 2.5% |
| USD 240,000–450,000 | 2.0% |
| Over USD 450,000 | 1.5% |
The starting fee is 4.0%, updated monthly based on the previous month’s actual spend. The minimum first top-up is USD 200. Accounts spending over USD 10,000 per month and remaining in good standing receive a 0.5% rebate on total spend each quarter. Transfer fees are charged separately depending on the payment gateway, for example, an extra 1.5% for USDT, 1.0% for PingPong and 4.0% for Wise.
Against the wider market, pricing round-ups show that many agency account providers use a combined model: a monthly subscription plus a commission on spend, or a percentage of spend plus an account opening fee. Some providers list 3–6% of spend plus an account rental fee, some start from 4%, and some large providers offer 2–2.5% cashback on their top tier. GDT Agency’s difference lies in a fully published tiered fee schedule with no account opening or setup fees.
Five operating principles, from prepayment and compliance review to incident handling
According to the policies published on its website, GDT Agency emphasizes the following principles:
- Prepayment: every account must be topped up before spending; the company does not offer “run now, pay later”.
- Pre-launch checks: reviewing the client’s assets (up to 5 fan pages and 5 domains per application), a compliance review within 1–2 business days and a free review of ad content before launch.
- Clear scope of protection: agency accounts reduce structural risk but do not exempt violations if ad content breaches policy.
- Incident handling: up to 3 appeals; if the account cannot be restored, the company refunds the remaining budget within 7–10 business days or moves the client to a backup account.
- Verifiability: clients can check the Partner ID when they receive an account.
These are commitments published by the company itself; clients should read the contract terms carefully before signing on.
What GDT Agency’s Clients Say
In the course of researching GDT Agency, we found positive feedback from several clients. According to Jackson Christopher Meyer, founder of the Olyndra London brand, he secured stable, high-limit ad accounts to take the brand to global markets while staying compliant on Meta, Google, and TikTok. Another case is the owner of the SaaS and e-commerce business Linkha: after three months of working together, his ad budget exceeded the total of the previous four years, and the business grew threefold.
GDT Agency Faces Brand Impersonation for Fraud
Growth has come with a downside: GDT Agency is being impersonated by fraudsters. This is not a problem unique to one brand. According to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Americans reported losing USD 3.5 billion to impersonation scams in 2025, the highest of any reported fraud type; business impersonation alone accounted for nearly USD 1 billion, up from USD 866 million in 2024.
The Global Anti-Scam Alliance’s (GASA) Global State of Scams 2025 survey of 46,000 people in 42 markets found that 57% had encountered a scam in the past 12 months and 23% had lost money. Scammers reach victims through text messages, phone calls, email, social media, and even search results.
In GDT Agency’s case, the common tactic is to copy the brand’s logo, account name, and profile layout, then approach advertisers through unofficial channels with fraudulent offers. Because the look is almost identical to the real thing, recipients find it hard to tell the difference at a glance. The company has placed an impersonation warning at the top of its official website’s homepage.
The damage cuts both ways. Victims lose money, information, or ad assets, then associate that bad experience with the GDT Agency name even though they never worked with the company. Meanwhile, the brand bears extra costs for warnings, verification and complaint handling.
The impact is most visible on Trustpilot, where some negative reviews describe being scammed through accounts using the GDT name. The company has responded to every negative review, urging users to contact it only through official channels and publishing the list of those channels on its Trustpilot page.
According to Henry Duy, the company has checked each case against its customer data: these people never contacted GDT through its website or the channels listed on it, and the company’s systems hold no transaction records for them.
How GDT Agency Responds to Impersonators
- Posting impersonation warnings in several places on its official website.
- Advising clients to check domain names, phone numbers, and email addresses against the information on agencygdt.com before any transaction.
- Publishing its official contact channels: website, hotline and WhatsApp, sales and support email, Hanoi office and social media pages.
- Warning that a familiar logo or name is not proof that a contact is genuine.
- Supporting clients previously scammed by GDT Agency impersonators: according to Henry Duy, the company offers partial support on rental fees when these clients use the standard services listed on its website.
Four Tips To Help Advertisers Avoid Scams When Renting Accounts
- Check phone numbers, email addresses, and domain names against the official website agencygdt.com before talking or transferring money.
- Be wary of offers that seem too good to be true, urgent payment requests, or requests for login details.
- Never share passwords, two-factor authentication codes, or Business Manager admin rights with anyone who has not been verified.
- When in doubt, contact the company through its official channels to ask before transacting.
For GDT Agency, protecting client trust against impersonation has become part of its brand-building journey: transparent contact channels, processes, and support policies.
