Have psychics found a nationwide business credibility ploy useful?

A Los Angeles based business operating as the U.S. Commerce Association (and also under dozens of local names such as Gulf Breeze Award Program, Best of Atlanta, and Best of Minneapolis Award) has actually found a responsive audience.



According to a Better Business Bureau spokesperson the U.S. Commerce Association --- it sounds both somewhat familiar and impressive doesn’t it? ---persuades businesses to spend $80 to $180 for an award plaque or hand-polished crystal trophy.



Trophies awarded apparently for anything to anyone willing to pay.



As an example, Phoenix psychic and healer Judy Kay showcases on her web site three hand-polished crystal trophies in 2009, 2011, and 2013 awarded from the U.S. Commerce Association. What does she claim they were for? Well apparently they highlight her “accuracy and integrity” as a psychic medium.



One can view Judy Kay's web site photos of capturing such $180 award trophies (plus or including shipping?) at http://ift.tt/1c0WGOF



Incredibly this --- highly credible? --- psychic medium Judy Kay even has posted an "immediate" press release on her web site about these achievement honors. Wow!



Yet oddly less than 20 miles away a minister was named the winner of the “Best of Goodyear Award” in the “psychics & mediums” category also courtesy of the U.S. Commerce Association. And many others also close by.



In fact in just a matter of months there appear to be thousands of such awards across the country from an aromatherapy business in Boca Raton, Fla., to a car wash business in Minneapolis. According to a Michelle Corey, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau in St. Louis, the awards are potentially misleading to both businesses and consumers. She believes ethical businesses should refrain from publicizing these awards.



But that hasn’t seemed to have stopped lots of psychic mediums throughout the U.S. and even a few local donut shops.



Go ahead. Put in a local business near you into your search engine with the words U.S. Commerce Association and Best Of. Even in your backyard there may be a highly accurate psychic with award winning integrity. Or perhaps you want one of your own as the greatest skeptical critic?
