Belle Mundo, Michael Davantes to be exact are frauds. Not only did i "audition" for their agency, but they charged me 500$ for it. I never got a call back. In my research i also figured out that most of the models that they show on their website are actually represented with other "real" agencies. These model on on this website without their knowledge or the knowledge of their true agent. Not only did Belle Mundo take my money, which i later found out that agencies are not supposed to charge you directly for money, but the photographer that shoots your portfolio is supposed to charge you, but the photos they took of me where taken by Michael, the owner of the agency. I later found out that Michael, who also said is the photographer, is NOT. My photos were horrible! I suggest models that want to make it, avoid this company. Clients that need models, look else wear 90% of the girls they represent are fakes.

#1 Employee

Disregard the hate post

AUTHOR: scloutier - Deux Montagnes (Canada)

  I’m currently a model for Bellemundo and I have no idea who this guy is that’s posting these comments. All the models are real and good friends of mine. As for the photos, the agency has never charged any of us for pictures. They have created all our portfolios for free. I’ve been to France, Tokyo and Germany for shoots. It doesn’t get any more real than this, I’m sure that guy / girl who posted never made it into the agency.

#2 Consumer Suggestion

An Agent confirms allegation

AUTHOR: Real Agent - Wake Forest (United States of America)

We are the Mother agent to Helge Gerstard who we found illegally being represented on the Belle Mundo web site. We approached the agency posing as a potential client wanting to book the model about the availability of the talent for a shoot. We were told that they were not the mother agent to the model but recommended a different model for the project. A model we confirmed is represented by Belle Mundo. When we asked who we could book Helge from Mr. Michael Daventes informed us that he did not know who Helge's agent was in the US. We sent Mr. Michael an email informing him that we were Helge's Mother Agent and to remove him from the site immediately. We hope this information lends some facts to how this business is run.

Be carful models.
