Recruitment Warning: Important Safety Information for Aspiring Models

At Crizaze Models, the safety, well-being, and professional integrity of aspiring models are our highest priorities. We are acutely aware of the potential risks within the modeling industry and are committed to fostering a secure and transparent environment for all individuals pursuing a modeling career. This advisory applies to all our operations in India and the UK.

We strongly urge all prospective models to remain vigilant and adhere to the following guidelines:

Key Guidelines for Aspiring Models

1. No Fees Policy

Crizaze Models does not charge any fees for model consideration, representation, or associated services, including portfolio development and test shoots. Legitimate modeling agencies earn commissions from booked work, not from aspiring models.

2. Photography Requirements

We never request nude, lingerie, or otherwise inappropriate photographs at any stage of the application or representation process. Initial submissions should consist of simple, natural, and unedited digital photographs, which can be taken with a smartphone.

3. Official Communication Protocol

All legitimate correspondence from Crizaze Models will originate only from verified email addresses ending in:

    • @crizaze.com
    • @crizazemodels.com
    • @crizazemodels.co.uk

Always verify the full email address before responding. Do not rely solely on display names, as scammers often impersonate legitimate entities. If in doubt, contact us directly through our official website.

Safety Protocols & Legal Considerations

4. Parental Consent for Minors (Under 18)

    • Parental or legal guardian consent is mandatory for all applicants under the age of 18.
    • All communications and engagements involving minors will be conducted with the explicit knowledge and agreement of a parent or guardian.
    • We prioritize both the safety and academic commitments of young aspiring models.

5. Professional Meeting Standards

    • Initial model assessments may be conducted virtually.
    • In-person meetings with Crizaze Models representatives will only take place at our official offices or pre-approved reputable locations.
    • Models under 18 must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or trusted adult during any in-person meeting.
    • We never request meetings in private residences or unverified locations.

6. Legal Documentation: Model Release Forms

Before any professional shoot or project, Crizaze Models will provide a comprehensive model release form detailing image usage rights.

    • This must be signed by the model (and a parent/guardian if under 18) before participation.
    • We maintain strict adherence to privacy laws and data protection regulations in the UK (GDPR) and India.

Recommended Safety Measures for Aspiring Models

7. Online Security & Fraud Awareness

    • Exercise extreme caution when engaging with individuals claiming to be scouts, agents, or photographers on social media, chat platforms, or messaging apps.
    • Never share personal information (address, phone number, bank details) with unknown individuals.
    • If approached by someone claiming to represent Crizaze Models, verify their credentials by contacting us directly.

8. Direct Verification & Contact

If you receive unsolicited communication from someone claiming to represent Crizaze Models:

    • Do not engage until verified. Contact us directly at our official email addresses.
    • Crizaze Models does not recruit models through social media direct messages.

9. No Upfront Payments or Hidden Costs

    • Crizaze Models does not require models to pay for portfolios, comp cards, or training.
    • Be wary of individuals or agencies demanding upfront fees for “guaranteed work,” training, or workshops.

10. Trust Your Instincts & Conduct Due Diligence

    • Research any agency or individual before committing to a collaboration.
    • Look for legitimate reviews and testimonials.
    • If something feels suspicious or uncomfortable, trust your instincts and walk away.

Report Suspicious Activity

If you encounter fraudulent activity, misrepresentation, or suspicious behavior, please:

    • Document all relevant details (screenshots, names, email addresses, phone numbers, etc.).
    • Report it to us immediately via our official contact channels.
    • Depending on the nature of the issue, consider reporting to law enforcement or cybercrime authorities.

At Crizaze Models, we are dedicated to ensuring a safe, ethical, and professional environment for all aspiring models. If you have any concerns or require verification, please contact us directly.
