Alluring Views, Chris Michaels Management, Harold Emery - SCAM

Hi all!

Just adding my voice to this chorus - I was contacted in 2021 by Ciarlyn Briones on behalf of Allure Lee from "Alluring Views" - who said that Allure wanted to hire me as a model. I was dragged into a Microsoft Teams call with dozens of other young women (which was previously unbeknownst to me), and on that call when I asked how they got my contact information, they said I'd filled out their model submission form (I hadn't - they filled out MY contact form on MY website).

On that call, I was told I had to purchase a one size fits all workout outfit that would fit from XS-3XL (what workout outfit could fit that broad a range, might I ask?) and then I'd be flown to Atlanta Georgia to shoot with them, for $500USD/day. When I took a look at the "contract" they sent, and I asked (reasonable) questions about the deficiencies in that contract, they went radio silent. 3 months later, I started receiving scam offers from them to work in Atlanta, GA, and Las Vegas, with zero follow up when I asked questions about their lack of communication, or asked for further information.

They'd then wait a few months and circle back with some brand new scam (and brand new email address) to dangle in front of me, often approaching me as if we'd already been in talks and I had forgotten to send my "walk video" or my measurements, and could I send them ASAP because they'd like to book me for [insert name of random prestigious event that they'd like me to model for which they have no connection to here] or could I "clear my calender" and jump on a call tonight (in order to try to railroad me into some new scam)

Every time, I've called them out on their BS, they've dropped off the face of the earth, stopped replying, and then reemerged with a new company name (Eg. Alluring Views, then Chris Michaels Management, then JeBae Magazine, etc etc etc) - AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Scam

I went thru the same exact thing I blocked their emails and told them to never send me another email again that they were scamming people back last year I spend over 100 I bought the outfit at 60 then I bought some facial product for another 80 3 times they got me. They gave me the run arround that they didn’t have my name or address so therefore they couldn’t send me the product so. I dispute with my bank to get my money back then I blocked them ! Never ever send money to anyone ! If u need to it’s a scam u want to be a model? Go to a modeling agency! No money involved other than a. portfolio word of advice

I'm a model with defiantfirm, that's Chris's agency. I never was scamed and I'm sorry you felt like you were, but to better explain the situation this is a influencer modeling company where you buy the products and sell products, you usually get a code to sell the products with and your pay rate is determined by how much product you sell, so it is a little different from the regular type of modeling. If you have any questions, I can answer them to the best of my ability.

I am here to report the scam artist Allure, Alluring Views and her so called manager Chris Michael’s. I was scheduled to work with her back in October. She had me order a $60 fitness jumpsuit and I was suppose to do a photoshoot with it. I didn’t receive a call, text or email about it. She then comes back and says “you were suppose to get people to buy it with your discount code” even though she NEVER sent that information.

Yesterday, was the final straw. I was asked to join a zoom call with other models. I hope I don’t sound condescending but looking at the “models” I could they were beyond inexperienced and probably never modeled in their life. Why would somebody want someone inexperienced to represent their brand? So, the zoom call was about a fashion show that would be at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Her manager, Chris Michaels, mentioned they would pay us thousands of dollars and pay for our flight. Hmm, fashion show at the MGM Grand, paid flight and paid thousands of dollars? Uh...even if Victoria Secret or Nike books you for a show, they’re not paying all of that. Then they said we would have to pay a “registration fee.” NO reputable casting will ever make a model pay to work! After awhile I knew this was a total scam! They both were yelling and talking over each other and gave false information. I am now with a reputable agency. They send me castings and they allow me to look for work with their guidance if the job is in neighboring states. Chris Michaels is KNOWN as a con artist but I have them
The benefit of the doubt. I do wear the outfit to the gym so I learn my lesson and took it as a lost. Stay far away from these losers! There’s a big business that preys on girls with low self esteem and they’re one of them

Do not fall for this scam. Alluring view reached out to me on IG. She asked me to be a model for her summer collection in June. After I interviewed through video chat. ( she didn’t show her face) she tells me I have to buy a Alluring View outfit abs post it since I am going to be one of her selected models. So I bought the $65 workout outfit signed and under contract it says she’d fly me out to Atlanta because I was one of three models selected. Once I bought the outfit she has not responded to me But in IG she’s still looking for models. And she posts All the time. When I DM her she never reads it. And when I comment on her post she deletes it.

She just tried doing the same thing to me. The call was fast, very unprofessional and I hope she doesn’t scam anyone else!

You’re probably not going to see this since you’re “priv” , but I am so sorry that you’ve gone through that! Thank you for your comment because I was about to spend my $ on them. At 1st, It was very skeptical for me as a “model” to spend money on THEIR products. I didn’t do it because me, I’m naturally frugal. I could have $10k in my account but it will hurt my soul to spend $70 “just like that”

Hi, I recently came in contact with a woman who owns a clothing brand named Allure Lee (@officialallurelee on Instagram) who sent me an email claiming she felt I was the perfect fit for her brand and asked if I was interested in modeling. We proceed to have a Google Teams meeting, with myself and several other women, as she explained the process of elimination. She explained we would be receive a contract via email the next day for which ever event you were chosen for. I didn’t receive my contract for at least two weeks and that was only after I emailed her and her manager at least 5 times! At this point I called Allure and asked what I was supposed to do and she responded with “DocuSign the contract and send it back to my team”. The contract was for a commercial in Atlanta on March 5, 2021. The contract contained a section stating you had to purchase one of the outfits and send proof of purchase to receive your ambassadors code and what not. The purchase of the outfit was needed to go on the trip for the commercial which was supposed to be paid for by them and also I was supposed to be compensated $500 for the commercial itself. So I signed the contract, purchased the outfit, and did everything else that was asked of me. It has now been two weeks and I have yet to hear back from her nor her affiliates. I’ve emailed and called her multiple times from different phone numbers and left messages on the voicemail and still no response. A couple of days ago I received yet ANOTHER email saying the same thing the first email I received about her wanting to collaborate with me, which I found odd due to the fact we were supposed to be working together already. Please be careful! I feel strongly that this was a scam and I’m very upset because modeling has long been a dream of mine.

Same here! Where are located? Look up reputable talent agencies in your area. I now have an agent so I now see she is scam artist. Don’t give up. If she scams this way, I’m pretty sure she scams another way.
