I wanted to let everyone know that this company is ran and owned from the same owner as Premiere Whos Who and Pinnacle Publishing they charge customers from one company to another. All along the customers believe they are dealing with three different companies when in fact they are dealing with one. Dont let them get you too...

    This company is a bunch of frauds.  They try to sell membership in social media for Lincoln Alumni, Ashford Publishing, and Premiere Who's Who.  There is no social interaction in any of theses groups.  This is a fraud and they need to be shut down as soon as possible.

    Total FRAUDS!   This company is run by a bunch of LOSER Frat Boys with no manners with their heads up their areses!  I cannot say enough bad things about this company and it's "Corporate Office."  Whatever that means.  There is no one running that place, no one willl give you any information about who works there and it all just is a New York  SCAM. Stay far away and don't try and call to get any info as no one there will help you.  I hope they all get herpes.

    That's funny because any one who actually used a credit card there would know all charges made are not only recorded but each customer goes through a compliance dept and each customer is informed a second time of the charges etc. I know because I have actually used their services. Also advertising is expensive, however, you can't afford not too.

      Ashford's radio platform is on BLOGTALKRADIO.COM. Anyone can have a radio show on blog talk for absolutely free. Ashford claims that they have an audience that is over 10 million worldwide, however, you can easily expose their deception by checking the amount of people that logged into the show while you were on and after. BlogTalk is an internet base "Radio show" you can only listen to it on the internet. When someone logs onto the show their IP address is registered. So, you can easily find out how many people were listening by checking how many IP's logged on. Ashford's shows consistently have an average of 1-2% ranking because NO ONE knows they even exist. The only reason the show registers 1-2% is because the scumbags at Ashford have a employee log onto the show and sometimes they will even conduct a fake call in. It is always some dumb Ashford employee who calls in with a ridiculous question.  There PRESS RELEASES filled with grammatical errors are nothing more then a landing page that NO ONE KNOWS EXISTS.  Take a good look at those press releases and come back and tell me a 4th grader could not of created that. The sales people their make all the promises in the world about what kind of promotion they will do for them and how successful their poor customers are going to be.  One of the biggest scumbags in that company is Frank Madden, who's real name is Fran Passarella, who happens to be a two time felon.  He promises his clients that he will create YOUTUBE videos that will get 150,000 views in a month.  Meanwhile, all you have to do is go to their page and check the videos they created from over a year ago and some don't even have 10 views. These guys make guarantees verbally over the phone and then they get you on a audio tape agreeing to come on a fake show, not mentioning the services that were promised verbally. Then their admin department will call you DAY and NIGH to get you to sign a document that says you can't get your money back no matter what. They offer no CONTRACT, NO LITERATURE, NOTHING!    They take advantage of senior citizens and they ALL use aliases on the phone.    They create a simple landing page that costs about $100.00 if that even and charge $7500 and beyond for a simple page with no functionality what so ever.   They charged some poor woman 15,000.00 to put her book on ebooks. She could of went to ebooks herself and did it for a few hundred dollars. These guys are the biggest scum on top of pond scum and I hope someone will find these complaint pages and save their bank accounts. These scam artists need to be reported to the BBB and the DA in NY and the Attorney General. BEWARE OF THESE GUYS!

    Don't blame not having enough money to advertise. I spend $30,000 a month on advertising. It sounds like the problem is you not them.

    That's pretty cute but most companies sell stuff. That's called capitalism. I know it's hard to break it down but allow me to tell you how it works. Companies sell products and/or services to make money. See how that works.

      For a Doctor you certainly have a big problem with spelling...  From my phone conversations with their illiterate interviewers, I suspect that this entry was generated by someone at Ashford to try to legitimize their fraudulent schemes.

      I am doing some research on the legitimacy of Spotlite radio. I did a brief interview with Marcus Edwards this morning. Then Ian Grant , who said he was an executive director called me and told me I had a high rating. He offered me a three show series for 1500. He said a lot of other things, offering many opportunities to be seen publicly.
      Can you tell me what your experience was with Spotlite radio?
      Thank you,

    Ashford publishing is 100 % legit. They sent me my plaque and I am going to do their radio show. My rep over there Mike S has always been upfront and fair with me. He promised me the senior citizen discount and I saw it on my AMEX statement.

      Ashford Radio doesn't accept American Express due to the fact that AE dropped them for being a scam operation.  Call in and offer to pay on your Amex and see their reaction.
