Hello. I've never posted at JP Folks before. I am a member however and was in attendance at the amazing Awards Show this past year (nominated for Best Christmas Song: Lord Weatherby "Santa Claus Is Freaking Me Out").

I wish I had read this post before joining A&R Select about 2 weeks ago (I realize this is a very old string of posts). I was naive enough to sign up with these guys BEFORE researching them. Stupid, stupid, stupid (and lazy). After the fact, I googled them and this forum was the FIRST thing that came up.

After I first read these posts about a week ago, I immediately emailed A&R Select to cancel my membership and attempt to get back my $299 6-month enrollment fee (this was within 5 business days of joining with them).

To make a long story short, DO NOT JOIN THIS COMPANY. They have not refunded my money and I had to file a complaint against them through the Better Business Bureau.

When I cross checked their references (under "How Do You Know We Are Legit?") on their website, I couldn't find ANY of the people online who they had used as references in their short video interviews. There was even a dead myspace link to one of the bands who was part of their video testimonials.

I could find NO SUCCESS STORIES (at least of any real value) anywhere on the Web.

This forum was a big help. Will be sure to look here FIRST next time.

Thank you guys.

Ken Jones
