The 4 Golden Rules of Scouting Security
Zero Upfront Representation Fees
AURA Couture works strictly on commission earned from paid client bookings. We NEVER ask for money, application fees, portfolio photoshoot charges, or sign-up payments. If someone asks for money, they are 100% a scammer.
Official Email Domains Only
All legitimate emails from our agents, bookers, and scouts originate exclusively from @auracouture.com. We do not use Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Outlook, or unofficial messaging handles to conduct official business.
Zero Explicit Imagery Requests
Our scouts will NEVER ask for nude, lingerie, or unclad photos over WhatsApp, Telegram, or Instagram DMs. Digital polaroids require basic fitted attire (t-shirt & jeans) in plain natural light.
Parent / Guardian Presence
For any applicant under 18 years of age, all scout communications, meetings, auditions, and contracts must involve a parent or legal guardian. Unaccompanied meetings with minors are strictly prohibited.
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers regarding representation safety, zero-fee policies, and verification.
Does AURA Couture / Vogue Vibe Models charge money to sign or scout new talent?+
NO. Absolute Zero Upfront Fees. AURA Couture NEVER charges application fees, registration fees, mandatory portfolio photoshoot charges, or audition processing fees. We earn strictly on commission from legitimate client bookings after talent is paid.
How can I verify if someone claiming to be an AURA Couture scout is legitimate?+
Official scouts communicate ONLY from @auracouture.com email addresses. Never trust communications from personal Gmail, Yahoo, WhatsApp, Telegram, or unofficial Instagram DMs. You can verify any agent by emailing security@auracouture.com.
Will an official scout ever ask me for explicit or nude polaroid photos?+
NEVER. Official scouts will NEVER ask for explicit, nude, lingerie, or unclad photos via private messaging apps. Digitals are taken in basic form-fitting clothing (e.g. plain t-shirt and jeans) in natural lighting.
What should I do if a fake scout asks me for money via UPI, GooglePay, or Wire Transfer?+
Do NOT send money or private personal details. Block the account immediately, take screenshots of the conversation, and report the fraudulent user to security@auracouture.com and your local cybercrime department.
How are minors (under 18) protected during scouting and auditions?+
Communications regarding minor applicants must involve a parent or legal guardian. All auditions, test shoots, and client bookings for minors require chaperones, parent contract signatures, and strict legal oversight.
