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...

    Ashford Publishing/ Radio/ Social Media as well as Premier Who's Who, Whitney Who's Who, Lincoln Alumni Online, Premier Alumni and the like are ALL ONE COMPANY. They're all owned by the same person (Jeff Burton) using different company names to scam you out of your money. The callers have various pseudonyms depending on the company they're calling from.

    The radio show is a scam; anyone can broadcast for free on blogtalkradio.com. Yes you have a "host" but your callers all come from within the administrative department of their office. READ you have no (or very, very few) true listeners. It's like you're being broadcast into open space and no one's listening (really! unless you send them to the website, NO ONE is listening to your radio shows.)

    Also, their "General Manager" goes by many names; Sandra Smitty is the one used most often. THAT'S NOT HER REAL NAME! As I've previously stated, the individuals working there use pseudonyms including management. The General Manager (or whatever title they're going by) is Mayelin Then or Jones, depending on what name she's using. She's the owner's babymama who's supposedly running the show but get her on the phone and you'll soon discover,  this woman has no idea what's going on.

        @lulu michaels:

        What exactly does the complainer being a lesbian have to do with your response to her complaint? I was actually interested in what you had to say until I read your homophobic comment.

          Beware of Brylane Business Media (fraud) and Genesis Global Media (fraud), both operating out of the homes of ex-Ashford Radio cronies. Their websites are full of lies, giving no street address for their companies nor actual start years for their companies, claiming they've been around for years and have offices overseas. It's a fake. These guys have records. Some have been known to take pills. Believe nothing these companies promise.

    I want to let everyone know all of these fake complaints are from fired employees!!!! This is so funny. If all of this was true all of Ashford employees would be in jail.  I have been a member of Ashford Publishing for 2 and 1/2 years and I get nothing but respect from everyone who works there. I know that this is false because any time I need anything done the GM Sandra is always available to speak to me therefore I need not to speak to the CEO. The comments written above are false. It honestly sounds to me like the people who wrote that want to bring the company down one way or another and have nothing better to do with their time. Go find a new job some where else you losers!!!! oh by the way  i search  there data base for a evelyn in canada and shes not a member you guys need th stop it this is a joke if i was ashford i would check all of the ip address and have all you fake complaints locked up!!!!!!

        Mayelin Then is a God Loving person replies to mike is fake
        Mayelin Then is a God loving person. She is absolutely not a scam artist. The father of her child owns a scam company he steels from elderly people offering free radio shows to them and then charging them for what should be a free show. He pays nothing to blogtalkradio.com to post these shows so why should the customers pay? Jeff Burton and Thomas Leuschner are the scam artist. Not Mayelin. She does not work there anymore. She quit and left the company and that felon Jeff Burton. The best thing she ever did. You go Mayelin... I am proud of you...

    These people, Ashford Publishing, have called me four times. The first three times, the same man called me, and when I interrupted him to ask him what he was selling and how much it would cost me, he got angry with me.

    If someone can't explain in thirty seconds what they are selling and how it will benefit me, then they don't know their product.  Today a woman called. I let her ask me some questions. Then after it began o feel like an interrogation, I stopped her. She aid they would interview me, create a press release, and give me a plaque. I don't need a pack saying I was interviewed. I have been on radio shows befo and they did not charge me to be the guest and expert. This is clearly a scam.

        bol replies to blah blah
        Ok, do I want to believe it....yes but after reading all of this why would I give $1000 to complete strangers I have never met, and if I am that good that make people want to listen then the advertisers that pay for the show would be happy and possible sell their goods or services.  I understand things are not free, believe me but to give money over the phone CC #'s is just not smart business.

      same thing here they wanted $1000 and said my 8 min free spot got a rating of 5 out of 10 and that was great.  Don't radio shows advertisers pay them?  Why would they charge me to have people tune in?
