Blueprint Broadcasting
reviews and complaints

I have sponsored a few radio announcements with Blueprint Broadcasting and I look forward to future business with them. I was a little hesitant the first time around but once I heard my ad on the radio I was more than happy with my decision to try them out. They even sent me my own copy of the announcement. Its a good way to get your name out there while benefiting the community.

They are very pushy. I have asked them not to call over and over and they still do. We do not get schedules. We do not ever hear the recordings. So I will never recommend them nor do business with them again. I get tired of these third party places selling spots on radio channels no one listens to and we never hear our spot. So...that is why the bad review. They do not do what they say they will do.

This company contacted me saying they were doing promotional things and wanted money. When i told them i would get back to them they seem to think i owe them $399.00. These people are scams and I am not paying them for anything that i am or never wanted to receive. Either they take my company Dudley Plumbing and home improvements off there invoices or im suing for everything i can get from these people

They told me that I would be getting prime time broadcasting during rush hour and when I received the schedule this was not the case. After asking them to change it, they told me they would immediately send me a new schedule after we got off the phone and they even give me a couple additional days at no charge. Nothing was sent to me and they would not return my calls. I had no way of verifying they ran the ads. I wish that I saw their reviews on Complaintsboard.com before signing up with them.

SCAMMERS! This company said they would air an ad for my business for $344. When they played the ad it was literally 10-seconds long. My brain didn't even have time to register my own phone number they said it so fast. It seemed like they played the ad at super speed. The second ad never aired. They continue to harass me for the money but they did NOT provide the promised service. I don't think it's right to expect me to pay for a service that was not promised. In my business, if I don't do the work promised, then I don't get paid.

The people called us and told us they were with *** the wolf a local radio advertising company. Which we knew of . They asked us if we would like to help the veterans out for veterans day. They offered us a great deal and said we would run veterans day week. I was hesitant but we small company that likes to help our veterans. So we paid for a small ad. We never heard our commercial and never received an email of air times. I call the number and no response. I have to get an invoice of what I am paying for but yet they continue to run my card. FRAUD! DO NOT EVER DO BUSINESS WITH THESES PEOPLE.

Absolutely a dishonest scamming organization. I was sold adds to run on sports channels week before Super Bowl over the phone. When I get the invoice it has dates a week and a half after the Super Bowl. I immediately called and cancelled our fraudulent deal. They then send me another invoice, which upon receipt I immediately called and they said it was a mistake and it was taken care of. Now 19 months later they are sending me another invoice threatening me to go to collections... make me laugh. They are not getting a dime form this guy. Get a real life guys and stop lying to people to make a living.

HUGE SCAM! VERY PUSHY AND AGGRESSIVE! THREATENING IN VOICEMAILS LEFT TO PAY FOR SERVICES NOT PROVIDED. JUST LOOKING TO GET YOU TO PAY AN INVOICE AND NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICE THEY CALLED ABOUT. I received a call from this company to advertise or sponsor (was not clear) on two of our local radio stations alongside a Veteran campaign. They read the script to me and I thought it sounded good. Rarely do I agree to continue a conversation with marketers over the phone (I receive many calls a day from marketers) - but these guys were pushy and wouldn't let me off the hook. I agreed for them to send me some literature and we could go from. They did not send anything to my office as we discussed and have since been calling me incessantly to pay 'my invoice' from the radio spots that they aired. I did not sign any contract with them. I did not hear anything on the radio. They have used local area code phone numbers to call me and leave rude and threatening voicemails. Extremely unprofessional - but these guys know what they are doing as they clearly have scammed people many times (look at all the reviews).

THE ABSOLUTE WORST COMPANY IN THE WORLD. CALLED A MONTH AGO TALKING ABOUT DOING AN AD FOR OUR TROOPS. THEY CALLED ME OFF A PHONE THAT'S CALLER ID WAS AN IN-TOWN RADIO STATION. OF COURSE I THINK ITS LEGITIMATE WHEN I SEE (THOMAS MEDIA JACKSON, TN) CALLING ME. I TOLD THEM ID BE INTERESTED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD BRING ME INTO THE STUDIO AND CUSTOMIZE MY OWN PERSONAL AD AND THEY WOULD HAVE A PAYMENT PLAN TO BE ABLE TO PAY BY MIDDLE OF OCTOBER. SEPTEMBER 15TH I RECEIVE A CALL THAT ASKS IF IM READY FOR MY ADS TO START AND ASKED IF I HAD GOTTEN MY TIME SHEETS YET... CONFUSED I SAY NO I HAVENT GOTTEN MY TIME SHEETS..BUT YES I AM READY FOR MY ADS TO START...BUT IN MY HEAD IM THINKING... MAYBE THEYLL LET ME CUSTOMIZE MY AD SOON I DONT KNOW... TODAY (SEPTEMBER 21) RECEIVED A CALL ASKING ME TO PAY MY INVOICE IN FULL. I NEVER EVEN HEARD THE AD ON THE RADIO STATION! NEVER GOT TO "CUSTOMIZE OR PERSONALIZE MY OWN AD" LIKE THE SALESMAN SAID! THEN THE REPRESENTATIVE HAS THE NERVE TO TELL ME "IT SOUNDS LIKE YOURE TRYING TO GET OUT OF PAYING THE BILL" NO IM NOT PAYING YOUR [censored] COMPANY A DIME OF MY MONEY WHEN ITS A TOTAL SCAM. THIS COMPANY IS [censored].. SHOULD NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH ANYONE AND SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR FRAUD.

If I could give negative stars I would, they called me in August asking me to sponsor a uso campaign, they never said which radio station it would broadcast on and kept trying to get me to pay for it by cc over the phone before I ever got a contract or show schedule. When I finally received something in the mail from them it was just a schedule and invoice showing a 4hr time block on 5 different days over 2 weeks, but only 2 days were for a station in my town the other 3 days were for an online radio station from ***, I live in Ohio. What good does me paying for a ad for my company on a *** station, when it dont do business there. Well I listened religiously to hear my commercials and guess what nothing was ever played. I called the station local to me to ask about it and they said they don't do business with blueprint anymore. So why would I I pay an invoice for a commercial that was never aired, when they call me to get a payment from me I ask why weren't they played and they all use the excuse well it's only a 30 second commercial you might have been in the restroom, really 5 times in a row I missed the commercial? Why would I pay for something that was never complete on their end. That's like me charging a customer for a lawn service that wasn't completed. Don't do business with this company.

If I could rate this business less than 1 I would.They contacted us with a fast talking ad that sounded great cost was 300$ plus a monthly fee of 59.95. They told us we would be broadcast on several radio stations for the memorial week and it was to benefit our troops. They never once mentioned what stations or when but said they would email us the schedule which would include stations. Two weeks later we got a *** in the mail and it listed time slots that we supposedly already had our ad, we didnt know if they were played or not. I started research and found multiple complaints associated with the same issue we had. They again called us and I told them I was unhappy with the service as I didnt hear any ads the paperwork they sent was nothing like they explained we would be getting. At this point they tell me that I have to install a special app called live 365 in order to hear our advertising! Then they say they will give me a specific time to hear the ad, I didnt hear it and they call back saying the ad time was wrong because they are in a different time zone than I am. Now they cal 6+ times a day from multiple different numbers from *** and New York and so on. They are harassing me because I want proof that our ads are being played and heard. I refuse to pay anything more at this point and would prefer to get a refund for services not rendered or as described. I would not recommend doing business with this company at all!

This company has no ties to radio stations at all. Their webpage is super basic and also not secure. They lie about doing the broadcasts. Lucky for me I was able to catch this prior to them broadcasting and I sent them a lengthy email to let them know about all the shadiness. I looked into both the radio stations that they promised to play on and neither of them have any links to Blueprint broadcasting nor show their logo on websites. Their website does not list the stations they control as a matter of fact. The next day they contact me to address this concern by giving me 3 free days at no charge. Except they had already promised that at the sales call. The invoices didnt match what was promised either. I told them I wanted them to cancel due to my research and *** the supervisor tried to tell me he cant cancel the broadcast. To which I retorted, well yes you can, you told me last week that its all recorded live so you can just tell the guy reading it to not read it. Since I emailed them and tried to call multiple times prior to the first broadcast time, I decided to listen to the 3 hour time block and not once did the ad play, as a matter of fact the only ad that played was at the end of the block and it was for a different company altogether. *** kept insisting that they were light but had no answer to why the radio stations I talked to had no idea who they were. Lucky for me I had multiple screenshots and proof of their scaminess. And I recorded the entire phone call, so when he finally said ok okwe wont run the *** and you wont be charged or billed. I was able to say Great, thank you, I have you on record saying that.He said that all these 1 star reviews on here are people that just didnt want to pay their ***. But in my case I canceled prior to the run time. I sincerely hope that there is someone that is doing research on them after a sales call and is able to use this to save them the trouble and he***che. Also, please contact your local radio stations and let them know.

On April 20, 2023, "Justin" from Blueprint Broadcasting contacted my store for "FM Radio" adverting. He offered a week 30 second ads, they would produce, on Gator Country 101.9 FM (SW Florida) during "morning drive time). He also said for an extra $49.99 a month they would mention our store twice a day on Hits99 (didn't tell me, but later learned this was an online "station"). I agreed to that as well. I then get a bill emailed to me for $439 with a schedule of the "agreed to" time slots. All of the time slots on the bill were ONLINE ONLY, and many on during morning drive time. Knowing most people don’t have a computer to listen to the radio while they drive to work, I complained by phone. I spoke with “Jack”, who then promised additional evening time slots on the actual FM radio station, and emailed me a new bill. These were only on Fri & Sat now. I again called and spoke with Jack, who then added a second week of FM evening slots a different week. This back and forth without giving me what was promised went on a few more times, then I asked for a copy of the 30 second ad they plan on broadcasting. I received a 15 second ad via email.

Week “1A” (May 15, 2023) came, myself and my staff listened all day for all 5 days as we played the “online” radio station in our store. Nothing. No ads other than for Hits99 and some college recording studio were ever played. None of us heard the ad that was promised. This was the same result for all 5 days. Week “2A” then arrived for evening on FM 101.9; NOTHING AGAIN. After these weeks completed, I called and complained asking for “Jack”; I was promised he would call me back, this never happened. They did send me a conflicting invoice and schedule, showing different times than “Jack” promised. I also spoke with a female there whom confirmed my request to cancel the $49.99 twice a day mention as that never occurred either.

I then begin getting charged $49.99 a month from Hits99; I called and was told they would refund that and cancel that charge from happening again. That didn’t happen, so I filed a credit card dispute. To date, the credit card company has agreed with each dispute and refunded the $49.99 charges.

August 7, 2023, they have send me a past due bill. I spoke with Jack again, who tells me they will cancel the $49.99 charge and agree to “walk away” from this with a $200 payment from me. I don’t agree, and tell them to send me the updated invoice, WITH written confirmation that the Hits99 $49.99 fee has been canceled, AND written confirmation that they will stop billing me. I received an invoice updated to $200 owed and again showing different times than were promised. No written confirmation of cancellation of the Hits99 fee and no confirmation that if the $200 is paid, they will stop billing me.

August 9, 2023 I receive a call from “Loyd Rodriquez” who tells me that “Jack Steel” asked him to call me about paying the $200. I tell him I received the new invoice, but have not received either of the confirmations needed. An hour later I get a one line email “Please be advised that your monthly subscription has been cancelled.” with no one’s name attached or any other information other than that it came from [protected]@gmail.com . Keep in mind, ANYONE can create a Gmail account under ANY NAME.

As they did not play any of the promised advertisements, have not cancelled the monthly billing as promised multiple times, and I can easily get sworn Affidavits from multiple people that were present in my store ALL DAY that they never heard any ad or mention of our company, I suspect Blueprint Broadcasting is actually a well-organized scam company.

Blueprint Broadcasting solicited my business for supporting Veterans and said my company would be called out on air as being a supporter. The salesperson repeatedly told me the donation would be tax deductible. They called me to collect the money before the program aired and I asked them to provide me the documents showing this was a tax deductible contribution. I was passed around to numerous people and eventually told the document would be mailed. Fast forward to more calls from them to collect and again their failure to provide the tax documents. The bill is for $344, I have no proof any mention of my company occurred and I have yet to receive documents/proof I requested. Now they threaten legal action and provide me with a telephone number that doesn't work [protected]. This seems like a real scam.

I GOT SOLICITATED BY THIS COMPANY ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO. THEY PROMISED TO MAKE ME A RADIO AD FOR MY BUISNESS TO BE PLAYED ON LOCAL STATIONS. THEY BILLED ME 200.00 PER MONTH FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. AFTER MY INSTINCT STARTED TO KICK IN I CALLED THEM AND WANTED PROOF. THE RADIO STATIONS NEVER HEARD OF THEM OR MY ADD. *** GAVE ME FAKE PHONE NUMBERS TO FAKE RADIO STATIONS THAT DONT EXIST. THEY ALSO ARE VERY RUDE AND DONT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. THEY ALSO CALL YOU USI G DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBERS SO YOU ANSWER THE PHONE. THEY STEAL LOCAL PHO E NUMBERS WITHOUT PERMISSION. THIS IS CALLED FRAUD AND EMBEZZLEMENT. THERE ARE NO REAL ADDS OR RADIO STATIONS AT ALL. THEY LIE AND STEAL MONEY. I ASKED FOR *** ADDRESS AND THEY CANT GIVE IT TO ME. ONLY A P.O. BOX. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. IF THEY GOT ALMOST 2K OUT OF ME HOW MUCH FROM EVERYONE THEY STEAL FROM? THIS IS LOW DOWN AND ROTTEN

Blueprint Broadcasting contacted me piggy backing on the Sportstalk 790 stations phone number out of *** saying I was chosen to work with them to raise money for helping disadvantaged and exploited children. Im all for that. In return they would run an add for me during the week of 2/21 - 3/3. I explained that I would need to see something in writing before I commit. He did not ask for any money up front. I called the radio station 790 in *** and they said they are not running any such deal and dont know how this outfit used there number to call me. Yesterday I received a invoice saying an amount due the end of this month. I did not agree to any ad service from Blueprint Broadcasting nor have I signed anything. I am not going to pay this invoice. I do not need to be hassled from these people. I did talk to someone this morning but it sounds as if they are going to try and hassle me for money.

This company charged us $50 to broadcast a radio commercial for our company. We asked them several times when they would broadcast it and they continually disregarded our question. They sent us an invoice on 3/11 with another company's information on it. We emailed them to inform them that the invoice they sent us was incorrect, which I have a copy of and that we still needed to know when the commercial would broadcast. They eventually sent us an invoice with the corrected information on it after several requests for the information on the commercial. They emailed us the invoice on 3/17 stating that the commercial aired on 3/5-3/15. Therefore we never got any proof that the commercial even aired. When I tried to call the radio station that Blueprint Broadcasting claims to have had the commercial broadcasted on the number is no longer in service. They have sent us to collections for a service we never received. This company is a scam.

I was contacted in Nov/Dec 2020 about doing a marketing spot on a local radio *** would say how much I support troops for Christmas - part of my marketing money would go directly to troops for Christmas. I did authorize that ONE TIME charge, however they proceeded to charge me an addition monthly fee of 49,99 in Dec 2020 and *** from Jan to July . I never realized this charge on my credit card until June . I called them to cancel any further charges because I NEVER AUTHORIZED them and asked for verification which was NEVER produced. My credit card company credited me back my *** for *** IN JULY THEY CHARGED ME AGAIN. Again called the company to stop charging me and to provide proof of verification that I authorized the charges. For the last two days they said give a little time and I will call you back with verification. THEY NEVER CALLED BACK. I have since disputed the April, *** charges- my credit card has credited those back but not Dec

This happened back in December and I thought it was done until we received another invoice from this company. Just like the many other complaints filed we have the same issue. This company solicits you under false pretenses and if you try to back out or cancel, they still harass you for money due. We were going to agree to the advertising but wanted to see proof first of what was being sent out, also I clearly said several times I would have to get the ok from my business partner. No proof or paperwork came of any kind but another couple phone calls did, trying to pressure us into prepaying. Again, I repeated the same thing and received nothing. The only thing that showed was an invoice and a cheap-looking piece of paper with a "schedule" on it. We immediately called and tried to cancel and of course, they magically have no record of that phone call (we do on our phone records). They kept sending invoice after invoice and harassed us with numerous phone calls from many numbers. Until now we thought it had stopped but now just received another bogus invoice. This is not the way you conduct yourself being a business and I don't understand how they still are.

Company called me offering promotion on Portlands The Game 750/102.9. I looked it up after the fact, and 102.9 is no longer The Game. I attempted to call back and the number wasn't a real number in use. On the phone originally, I spoke with a Bob Waulker, but he wouldn't give me a number or email to contact back, but told me they would send me the paperwork in the mail before the airing to review, and that the contact info would be on there. I thought that was odd, but they weren't asking any money up front, so I agreed. Upon finding out that the station they were selling me was no longer what they said it was (stopped being aired on 102.9 in August) I called and emailed on their website. I recorded the call myself for proof that I was taking back my verbal agreement. I have yet to receive a call or email back, and it seems like this is the only place where the company is responding to clients. I wanted to post this here BEFORE my ads air on a useless channel, and hopefully they can pull the slot and not waste any more of either of our times. I'm not interested in further negotiations or changing, but would like to cancel as I do not trust their business practices.

They called my business portraying themselves as a radio station. Stated they would like to make me a radio add to play on certain radio stations. Also stated i would be recieving a copy of this add before they were scheduled to air. I never recieved the letter stating when the add would play or what it sounded like, until the day of the first airing they called for payment. When i brought up my concerns of not receiving anything i was promised, i found out that the add was playing on an internet station not a FM station as they presented in thier pitch. I asked to just cancel the airing since it was not what i was sold. They stated that they could not cancel. There was one AM station it was supposed to play on and i called them and they never heard of this company, i listened and had others listen in the times given with not one add ever being played. This is very sketchy business practice to lie to customers about what your company will actually do for the agreed upon amount. I reluctantly paid them after since i always pay my bills. I can not let this company continue to rip off small businesses. They need to be honest upfront and not portray themselves as a radio station.

This company first started calling me asking to advertise to help support the troops for memorial day. I was liking the way it sounded and being a small business owner I was looking to drum up some business from different avenues. I was kind of skeptical but reluctantly agreed. I waited and played the radio at the time slot i thought I could hear my ad. After diligently listening to try to hear the ads I never heard one. I thought I just missed it as i am pretty busy most of the time. Got another call and ask about another ad this time to "help the children stay safe" around the 4th of July holiday. I agreed again hoping that I could receive a few calls from a radio ad. I should have done my research. I never heard any of the ads and continued to get calls to place more ads. I stopped answering my calls from the Chicago #s. They started calling me numerous times daily from local #s and asking why I am not happy. I fell for this scam just like so many other people have and now I am being threatened to have a account turned over to collections when in fact this company is the one needing to be investigated for scamming and harassing people.Do not fall for these lies as you will be better off just donating your money to a good charity.

On December 15th, we received an invoice from a company called Blueprint Broadcasting out of ***, . We've never heard of them, nor have we ever contacted them. We've never received any phone calls from them, yet this invoice was sent to my husbands tiny sole proprietor LLC. I handle all office communication and billing. They sent us an invoice # *** for *** out of the blue, dated 12/01, for an advertisement on local WHYL hits 99. Which is REALLY weird since my husband pretty much sub-contracts out and we do no marketing whatsoever. I called WHYL, because I actually know someone who works there, and they have no idea WHO this company is. ON TOP of all this, the ad's they are stating they would run that we were invoiced for are to start from 12/27/29? The only number to call for this place of business is ***. I work full time for a data driven IT company, and I can assure everyone that this is a HUGE PHISHING scam to get an incoming call from you on their records to try to *** you for services you may not even want but want to discuss the ***. This is NO DIFFERENT than getting a bogus email invoice. I can also attest to this totally being a scam the way the invoice was done by a 5th grader on *** Word templates.

Blueprint broadcasting based out of *** contacted me late August early September. They said they were going to advertise my business on a local radio station in support of our troops. They sent me a printout of dates and time slots in which my advertisement would be aired. These dates are starting September 20th and ending September 24th. A total of 5 spots. I've spoken with different representatives from the company in particular *** I have been emailing back and forth with. I spoke directly to the local radio station and my advertisements were not aired! I just received an invoice labeled final demand in the mail, stating that if the invoice wasn't paid within seven business days I would be referred to collections. I just got done sending another email back to *** at blueprint broadcasting exclaiming my frustration do to them trying to extort money from me and my small business through threats of collections. I will be calling them again tomorrow directly to see if some sort of resolution can be made. I refuse to pay for services not rendered! voice number *** invoice date 9/27 voice signed Sincerely,*** president *** Reading other complaints filed against this company I see this is common malicious practice for them. Shame on you!

On oct 18th 2021, the company called me through a cloned number. They explained they were selling ad space for *** radio station. I was interested but was not wanting to commit until I spoke with my husband. They told me I could commit, and still cancel if it was what I wanted. I said that was fine but I wanted all the information emailed to me so i could sit down with my husband and speak with him about it, they said fine. I never received the email. I called the number they called me from the next day and realized it was a cloned number when a woman answered and explained it was a personal cell phone. I was called again the other day to "thank me" for sponsoring the ad and i explained i wanted to cancel that i had been trying to contact them and i didn't appreciate being called from a cloned number. I also informed him that my calls are recorded and i had it recorded that i was told I could cancel and i was wanting to cancel. He told me that was not his department but that he would have someone contact me to have it cancelled. I have not been contacted, on the contrary, i received a *** in the mail. I have called multiple times and no one answers the phone. I have the recordings if necessary, but I am unable to add them to this complaint. I want it cancelled, i will not pay if they choose to air the ad after I've emailed and told the gentleman that i want to cancel. Invoice number:111475 Company name : *** tree service

I was cold called by this company approximately 6 months ago, listened to their speech about advertising etc. Heard what was a demo or was supposed to be a demonstration of what the radio advertisement was going to sound like. I was in the middle of a work day and asked for email or written correspondence to verify what the script was going to be and when & where it was going to be aired. I received no email, no letter, no calls (other than them calling trying to get more advertising). I was specifically told on the phone that I would be given the opportunity to approve or deny the advertising script beforehand. This did not occur, instead what happened was; randomly recieved an invoice for advertising that was not approved, continuous calls from this company requesting payment for something that was never approved or agreed upon. Now 6 months later I am still getting invoices and calls regarding this matter. They cannot tell me what was even said on the radio ad, nor provide audio recordings. Additionally the radio station that was supposedly airing the ad, does not exist. There is no hits 99.2 radio station in the Saginaw area, you cannot even tune the radio to the station that the broadcast supposedly air from. The also just list a frequency of 600/106.5 but no station on that block. Nothing Blueprint said on the phone was truthful. Blueprint refuses to allow you to talk to a real manager, everyone on the phone claims to be a manger of something then talks in circles until either myself or them ends the call. They refuse to even acknowledge my complaints and then reply with "you just dont want to pay your bill".

Approximately the 7th or 8th of February 2022, I received a call from Blueprint Broadcasting regarding "a slot" they had left in an advertising campaign on a "local" radio station. The use of words like, "honoring our military" were used. Given I, as a business owner myself, honor our military, they had my attention. After listening to their potential advertisement for my company, which was suppose to air on a "local" radio station (Country Hits ***) 10 times throughout a two week period, I thought it would be a great way to get my name out into our community and to help support our troops. After giving my CC information, it was declined. I received a notification from my bank, of which I authorized the transaction of ***. However, the card was not ran again. The following week I received a call again from the same person and company asking me if I was still interested in advertising. I agreed after confirming the changes I wanted to be made on this ad. What struck me though, was the fact he could not give me an example of the actual ad and the changes that were to be made as he did in our first conversation. When the card was ran the second time, I did not authorize it as before and transaction was again declined. Then on the 22th of February 2022, I received a notification from my bank which stated my card was ran for *** from this company. I never authorized this transaction, and when I spoke to the same man again, he denied at first that he ran it, but then admitted he did after I stated that we would not be having this conversation right now had it not been ran by his company. I feel this is a fraudulent company with absolutely no integrity and I should get a full refund!
