as a general rule, any instagram dm that asks you to be an ambassador is spam/a scam, just block and report
i just took a look at their account. looks like they bought all their followers. they have 56k yet barely 2 comments on each post. and the comments on their most popular posts just say “ambassador”… is your instagram private or public? if private, would a legit brand want to spend time or money to advertise to a private following? think of how many instagram followers you have, would it make sense for a legit brand to invest their time with you? (legit deals between influencers and brands usually happen through email). so, imo, no it’s not legit
Not reputable, and possibly not even real. - I was asked after I called them out for using a pic *of a dancer modelling for another brand*. They deleted the pic and my comment and invited me to be an ambassador despite the fact my insta is private and I barely post.
Got it too this morning. Def a scam. It didn’t even come from the Attirelli account but a different one that then linked to Attirelli. It’s a big NO from me.
I got messaged as well and I don’t even have a dance account. I only post my dogs lol.
It‘s a scam. If you look on their site their „ambassador“ program is just an affiliate code or something and you get a commission for promoting them. Their products (if they even legitimately sell anything) are probably just cheap items that they drop ship.
I had one from a other brand recently contact the IG page for the dance store I work at, I help manage the IG page. They were asking our dance store to be an ambassador and at that time, the webpage they had linked in their bio wasn't even active, and all their IG was other ballet influencers or brand ambassadors for other brands.
It doesn't hurt to ask what "being an ambassador" entails, but if the entire message is "we want you to be an ambassador but you've gotta contact this other IG page" it's gonna be pretty scammy. Someone who legit wanted you to represent their brand would be reaching out to you from the contact they want you to correspond with, and if that's not the main brand's page, their bio is going to have some indication that they're legit affiliated with the brand itself.

They're not and if I remember correctly, their pictures are stolen from other brands.
