All American Sports. A major scam, ripping off small businesses. They have been trying for years to scam money from us and we just keep telling them to &^%$ off. I don't answer the call.
I am an employee of all-american sports posters and we are a legitimate company. We are under contract with nearly 2,000 schools in america.These contracts are signed by athletic directors in most cases and we are willing to provide copies of this.We also supply the posters to the school and community for free as well as give the school a rebate check. Not to mention the ticket and concession sales these posters generate. So no, we are not a SCAM. Feel free to check out our website for further proof. www.wehelpschools.com.
As the coordinator for fundraising for our local team, you can imagine my "surprise" when I received a phone call at my business today asking us to advertise on the new schedule poster. She went on to describe the style of poster - "like you see at the theater." Considering we have never had one before and had not contacted anyone about doing that this year, I informed her that I did not believe that she had the authority to be arranging this and that I would be immediately clearing this up with the school. Next phone call was to the coach who knew absolutely nothing about it. Being from a relatively small school in a close net community, we like to keep our money local for these types of things. We have a fabulous schedule book published locally filled with photos and advertising, all local. All the money goes directly to the team for their needs and we like it that way. People like to look up the local one-liners, the baby pics of the seniors, the shout-outs, and which businesses forked over for the full page! The stands are packed, and we yell our heads off. We tailgate our high school players, and the kids paint their faces and deck out their clothing. We ring our cow-bells and wrap up in hand-made blankets sold to raise money for the team. In other words All-American Publishing, stay out of our businesses, stay out of our wallets, and stay out of our communities!
I have gotten calls from them and I have bought advertising on the posters. It is legitimate and I have a copy of one of the posters hanging on the wall in my office. They go back and forth with you to make sure the graphics are right before they ask for any money. The sports program may not get much if any money out of it but they do get their schedules on posters and handouts at (I believe) no cost to the school. It is better than asking the taxpayers to foot the bill for these posters and handouts, it probably would never happen. It is also just one more way to get your name out in front of people which is important if you want more business.

Got a call on my cell phone this morning from this number and no message was left. My number is on the Do Not Call Registry and unlisted as well. When I Iooked it up on White Pages, the number was listed under All American Publishing. If you guys are really legit as you claim in your above posts, do not call numbers on the registry.
