2011 SCAMMY AWARD WINNERS!

 

AASF is pleased to announce the “winners” of the Scammy Awards given to Self Help Gurus for their "excellence" in ripping off Americans with falsehoods, false hopes, myths & half-truths!

 

The intention of the awards is to ensure Self Help Gurus receive the attention they deserve. The general public picked the winners through an online survey and this year’s response shows that Americans do care about the negative impact that the highly profitable “Self Help-Industrial Complex" is having on America.

 

The results of this year’s awards are particularly timely in light of the increased number of desperate Americans being victimized by these gurus.

 

Awards are determined by the highest number of total votes and, in some cases, when the totals are close, a runner-up is also selected. The winners are as follows:

 

DUMB SPEAK AWARD given for the most unintelligent thing uttered by a Self-Help Guru goes to James Ray & runner-up Vianna Stibal
