Im not proud of this, but i used to work for Authorised Publications.
Ive seen so many bad reviews for them and ive seen that people are being chased for money, so i’m stepping up and telling the truth about how RAY and JEFF, go about thier business.
It starts with a cold call to a business found in any given directory online. Theres a script to follow at first, but you can adapt it to how you feel best suited.
Basicly, you tell a client that the community care guide, self care guide, just family etc, is going out across the postcode of the business you called. You tell the business that you are only looking for ONE of that type, then sell them a space at a low price on the promise they pay nothing for 3 months.
If they say yes, you send an email, they confirm with “please book” and youve just landed yourself a sale, theyve just landed themself with a bill to pay.
YOU WILL NEVER SEE ANY CCG, SCG, JFM or any other magazine by Authorised publications in doctors surgerys, hospitals, dentists or wherever employees say theyre going.
YOU WILL NEVER SEE ANY BUSINESS FROM SAID ADVERT, NOR WILL YOU SEE ANY SUPPOSED ARTICLE NEXT TO AN ADVERT.
The magazines are put together by a team of idiots. All information found in the magazine is easily accessible on the internet and thats where they get material for the magazines. Photos included are of RAY’s children, i’ll go into detail about ray and geoff later in a seperate blog.
Im ashamed to say, i made a lot of money from people advertising in those magazines. A lot of people got paid cash in hand, i went for bank transfers because otherwise you lose a bit through the cash option.
THIS COMPANY IS JUST ONE HUGE SCAM, DO NOT ADVERTISE WITH THEM, PLEASE TELL ALL FRIENDS, BUSINESS PARTNERS, COLLEGUES ETC.

What else can i say, the people there, most of them are nice. One of them is a dirty druggie alcoholic who sleeps on a sofa in the office. seriously, who sleeps in the office on a full time basis? The place is a joke. He washes himself in the mens toilets.
Like i say though, some people are genuinely nice characters, but they all do horrible things to get business on the bord, lie lie lie lie lie. And its all for your money.
Can the OFT get involved, can the police jump on board? Im sure RAY and JEFF’s tax hasnt been paid legitimately for a number of years. Someone needs to do something. Its worrying though, the people they deal with arent nice. You could land in hospital if on the wrong side of them.
DO NOT ADVERTISE WITH AUTHORISED PUBLICATIONS, LISTEN TO THE BAD REVEIWS ON THE INTERNET, DO NOT WAST YOUR MONEY.
