LONDON FASHION MODEL 

I'd give no stars never mind 1 total scam they just want your money you can't get in touch with anyone when you ring how is this place still open you would think with all the terrible reviews and complaints the place would be shut down wish I had read all the reviews first before paying out money avoid absolute scammers

I would give 0 stars if I could… I was scammed £500 6 years ago. Yes 6!! How is this company still scamming people 6 years later. They cannot keep getting away with this. Avoid these companies and remember legit modelling agencies would never ask for a PENNY!

Absolutely disgusting human beings every single last one of them, all under fake names, all fake people all horrible horrible cows. Scamming poor families, kids and even college student out of their hard earned money and believe it or not these evils cows are migrating to other countries. Its heartbreaking DO NOT TRUST THESE EVIL EVIL PEOPLE. Avoid at all costs and dont give your money i regret not researching them before because theyre heartless cows. They go by the name “LFStudios” now instead of “LondonFashionModels” so be so aware! Theyre now in Dublin and New York spreading like disease and plague, under the name “DublinFashionModels” how original. Dont let Jennifer Euston or Laura Alvarez convince you to be a piece of their game, probably not even their real names!

This model agency is 100% a scam.
I recently apply for the modelling job from my university website as I get alerts from them when there’s job offers about. I received an email about Londonfashioncastings, so I assumed that it was legit as I received the email on my university email through the university job seeking website.
As I’ve always been interested in modelling so I decided to apply for the job and see what happens but before hand I communicated with one of the student support staff from my university and he advised me to be careful and I said to him, if I have to pay for the photo shoot I will definitely not be doing that and he agreed.
So upon doing the interview I felt very uncomfortable about the whole situation and what they were telling me, how much the portfolio will cost which they said it was £500. Both men said I might qualify for the job, depending on how good I am. They also said my agency might be able to pay for my portfolio which is an excellent thing to hear. So I went along with it, we took a few pictures. After that the two men had a little discussion about whether my agency “Tracey Smith” (is the person I was communicating with through email) is willing to pay for my portfolio but I found it odd how they came to the conclusion so quick as they will have to call Tracey Smith first to agree on payment of my portfolio. They were two men, one was old and the other is probably in his mid 30s, anyways the old man preceded to tell me about the copy right claims for my photos and how much it will cost as a lot of models pay for copy right claims so they can sell their photos on this website(which I can’t remember the name of), instead of the photographer using my photos to earn money on the website. But I found it weird how I will have to pay for the copy right first before I can even take a photo shoot, another red flag. I explained to them I not able to pay for it as I am a student and don’t have enough funds and they were asking for me to pay £160, the old man suggested that he will pay £70 because I am so pretty and it would be a waste for me not to be recruited, another red flag. I told them that I will find the money somehow but I was still skeptical about the whole thing, so when I came back home I decided to email Tracey Smith as that’s what the old man suggested me to do, to thank her for paying for my portfolio. On the email I thanked her but also I said on the email it be nice if I can meet her to to thank her in person. To see what she will say next. While I was waiting for a reply I decided to start investigating the model agency to look up whether they have any social media’s and if their website is legit and it looked sketchy and the fact that is hard to find the website and there’s no social media accounts. I came to conclusion that it was a scam but I decided to message the photographer who gave me his phone number to let him know that I will not be attending the photo shoot has I have no funds and I did not get a reply from him which 100% confirmed my theory.

I applied for a job position here twice and the manager or co-owner (as she calls herself ) decided to contact me again. Just last week. I received another call from Gisela on Thursday )after she promised to call on Wednesday). It seems that time keeping is very poor on their side.
However we had a long phone call and I did not realise I have already applied for this position once and already interviewed with Gisela on June,2022. When she emailed me back-stating the interview time on December 13th ,she did add instagram accounts for this company and I realised I have been to the interview already!

I immediately messaged Gisela back asking if she is aware I have attented the interview in June 2022 already,but she decided that ignoring my message is better ,than actually replying properly. This is so rude and I think everyone who is potentially looking to apply-please read this!

However I would like to warn potential job seekers not to apply to this company-as clearly it seems that this company is unable to keep on top of remembering who they call,invite to the interviews and communicate with. If I applied for the job I was not selected for before and you do the mistake of inviting me down but then not communicating back to confirm my attendance-is just NEXT LEVEL UNPROFESSIONAL.

The whole company is giving me scam vibes.

Do not use theses people con the clothes are not what you see .

Hi all
Some one name Kiren called me yesterday(9/11/2022). She asked me what I do and how many kids I have. She said we are Loki g for age over 35 models. Then she discribe that there are four categories in which I can do modelling in. Earning from £300-£1000-£2000 per job. She also said if u r William g to travel any where in London then they will pay my travel and hotels. And even I can take one person with me if I am travelling out side London.
She also asked for £50 deposit . Two days before my shoot with them.
She also said bring 7-9 my own dresses, shoes, jewellery etc to change and do different shoot.
She said she going to email me studio address which is on Oxford street. And she called me next week.
Any advice is welcome pls

I agree that’s a sam agency. They tell you they will find you a job in many agencies as a model. They sell you photo packages from £800 to £2600 and tell you they will find you a dream job from £200 an hour to £8000 a day as a model. They are a scam photo agency. Don’t accept any offer from them. All the free photo shoots are scam. All the positive reviews are made to corrupt models and promise fake modelling jobs. Please do not accept anything they try to sell you. Then after all the photo shooting service they recommend another scammer - motion talent mgmt

They now go by the name soho fashion studios and I had to phone the police as they got aggressive and tried to steal my money

RIDICULOUS THE PHOTOGRAPHER TOOK AT LEAST 1 SECOND WHEN HE WAS TAKING MY PICTURES AND THEN WHEN WE WNE TO BUY THE PICTURES FOR MY PORTFOLIO, THE GUY THRE WAS RUDE TO MY MUM AS WHAT HE WAS SAYING WAS TOTAL CRAP AND THEN HE SAID ARE YOU CONFUSED OR THAT NORMAL, HE KEPT ON SAYING RUDE COMMENTS LIKE THIS, AVOID AT ALL COSTS PEOPLE LIKE THIS DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW YOU FELL THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT MAKING MONEY. ASLO WE DIDN'T GET OUR £50 DEPOSIT BACK AS HE TRIED SCAMMING US SAYING WE CAN HAVE A BAD PHOTO IN EXCHANGE FOR 50 QUID. ALSO THE EXIT IS IN HIS OFFICE WHICH MEANS IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG HE BASICALLY DOESN'T WANT YOU TO GO TELL THE OTHERS IN THE WAITING ROOM.

Realy dissapointed! I've send email and all was looking ok at the emails stage. When we got there, the place it is a little not well. Aswell, the guys from the reception wasnt very nice. I have been put to wait like an hour and a half for the 10 minutes of picture. After that, my daughter was already exhausted and I did asked if it is possible to be left to go and to write me or to call me on the phone as it is a two years old child, and them said no, need to wait. I did wait for another hour, and nothing! I"ve lelf and them didn't called me, no nothing. I feel sorry that I have losed my time and I made my daughter spend hours inside, and for nothing!!!! Us, adults can handle the stress, and the waiting. But for a child it is exhausting! Poor child was starting to cry a lot

I attended here and was asked to pay thousands of pounds, which I did thinking i would get the portfolio. This never arrived. The experience was awful and i couldn’t get back in contact. Avoid at all costs.

scammers same as London photograpy studio or whitechapel studio 23 hessel street

we applied on modelhunt.co.uk. invited for a test shoot and told 2 agency's were interested in working with us. They said fushion management and dynamite agency. we paid £300 to the stupid fools and the man.
scammers and its a shame it keeps happening. how can this go on in uk. no one to protect innocent people. some with no money

https: // creativestudiogroup.co. uk/ or Modelcentral, Has anyone heard of this company? Today I went with my 4 year old daughter for a photo shoot and at the end the person in charge asked me for £1200 to make the portfolio website with customer guarantees. Be suspicious because the person insisted that we pay on time, I ended up paying £300 because it was the money I had available, and in the next few days I would make the remaining payment for a total of £1200. The entry for the photo shoot was £50 which had already been paid before, and it was the total amount I invested in this plot. Now after seeing so many comments around here, it made me think and feel cheated if the company in question was really trustworthy.

We were taken for 3000 pounds by these people who called themselves Location London. If anyone know how to get justice for this please contact me on

I went on BBC's show Rip Off Britain to complain. Apparently we can go to Small Claim's Court BBC 1 Rip Off Britain series-13-episode-18

DNT TRUST THEM. SOON I TAKE THEM TO COURT AS THEY BROKE THEY CONTRACT AND TO RECOVER MY MONEY BACK.

Scammer scammers
I went to the shoot with my 15 year old son, same as everyone leaving their review, Rae Brown offered my son contract and that an American company called Reason and Swiss watch company wanted him.

Rae Brown telephone number and email incorrect, was contacted by Sophia and Lydia by telephone each time different numbers when trying to call the numbers back saying I have dial an incorrect number.

Tried to get my money back from my credit card company with no joy.

My son is heart broken, all we have is photos on a memory stick and a website that does not work for £500.

Well done for exposing this company. They offered a shoot and assessment with director for £35.99, same name SFT Bookers? Location in London where details will only be shared once payment made. Calling after hours, and speaking fast with slots filling up fast. I asked curious questions and the call was dropped. Be careful. If your child clearly isnt model material, think twice. If you have to pay upfront before details divulged, think twice. If you have to bring your own clothes to a shoot- think twice. I still have my £35.99 and my child is now aware of scams. Be well

Also, those who have lost your money, its very simple to make a court claim online: only costs £35, and you dont need a solicitor: .gov website (google, making small court claim), use gov website and link is there to do it online.
