The following emails were sent about September 1, 2013.
Dear Sirs,
We are the author(s) of a blog, which has performed substantial analysis of Deceit on the Internet. Our blog site is http://bedwettingalarmsdeceitcatcher.blogspot.com/and you will see that we are performing a significant service to the public as well as sites like yours by pointing out where and how deceit is occurring on the internet with respect to the bedwetting alarm industry.
Our “About Me” for the site reads:
Deceit is the quality that prompts intentional concealment or perversion of truth for the purpose of misleading. There is considerable deceit in the bedwetting alarm industry. The purpose of this blog is to point out the bogus (fake, phony) claims and deceptions of manufacturers and sellers and try to improve the ethics and business practices of this industry through exposure. Note: All products mentioned are trademarked and/or the property of their owners.
We have the following blog entry at http://bedwettingalarmsdeceitcatcher.blogspot.com/2013/08/chummie-very-strong-deceit-fraud-on.html.
This entry specifically addresses a 1-star review on Amazon in October 2012 by ballboy 99, who gives a 1-star review to a product sold on Amazon with ASIN: B00A8GF6BO or the equivalent at that time.
Ballboy 99 asks “NOTE: This is the second post of this alarm review. For some reason Amazon deleted my first one. Is this seller able to get negative reviews removed?? Isn't that a conflict of interest?”
In our opinion ballboy 99’s review was a perfectly legitimate review which Theos Medical Systems (the owner of the Chummie product) got removed at least twice for reasons that we certainly do not understand.
A few weeks after ballboy 99 re-instated his review, it disappeared again.
This is of great concern to us as well, as it indicates substantial deceit on the part of the Chummie product’s owner on Amazon as well.
Reading our blog http://bedwettingalarmsdeceitcatcher.blogspot.com/will show that Chummie gets more deceitful blog entries than ALL other manufacturers put together. They are without question, the most deceitful company on the internet in this industry. We would strongly recommend that you read this blog, where every entry is backed up with actual data. You will note that the relationship between Chummie and Amazon has been brought into question.
As observers of this matter for many months, we personally agree with ballboy 99’s statement that his negative review was removed for reasons that he does not understand. We are also aware that for AT LEAST the past one year, many negative reviews of the Chummie product have been removed. As one rather simple example, we can personally attest that Chummie had 207 reviews on Amazon on Wednesday, August 21, 2013. By Friday or Saturday, a few days later, the total reviews were down to 203. We believe that at least 4 (four) negative reviews were removed. We are reasonably assuming that they were removed at Chummies instigation. Why is this happening so frequently with Chummie, compared to all other parties in this category at Amazon that we are aware of? This obviously allows Chummie to have much more positive ratings and reviews on Amazon than they may truly deserve. We certainly would like to know, and receive a proper and complete answer from Amazon about these happenings.
This high number of removals of negative Chummie reviews on Amazon can be caused by
1. Almost all negative reviews of Chummie are false or fake or not in line with Amazon guidelines, which we cannot believe or agree with (the ballboy 99 review is an excellent example),
2. As suggested by ballboy 99, and possibly others, does Chummie have a special relationship with Amazon? We doubt that this would be so in the open. And
3. Does Chummie have some special relationship with someone within Amazon who will perform these favors for Chummie? Is someone at Amazon colluding with Chummie? We are not suggesting that Amazon (the company) is colluding with Chummie. But it is certainly possible that someone inside Amazon may be involved. We understand that Amazon’s support team for such activities is based in India, as are Chummie’s owners. Corruption is part of everyday life in India, as can be read in numerous reputable and reliable sources, and involves even large corporations like Walmart. Although we cannot say that someone in Amazon’s group is colluding with Chummie, it certainly is a possibility that merits a thorough investigation by Amazon.
We raise these matters as it is in Amazon’s best interests to keep its house clean and not behave in a partial manner towards any seller. Our site also very adequately demonstrates that Chummie is exceptionally deceitful. Its attacks on competitors are well known, and some of Chummie’s most fraudulent attacks and inventions are also pointed out in the blog.
Please provide us with an answer about Chummie’s disappearing negative reviews, and also what steps Amazon might take to prevent such transgressions by Chummie in the future. We would appreciate any insights that you can provide. Like Amazon, we too are attempting to reduce or eliminate deceit on the internet. Amazon’s assistance and possible actions if any irregularities are discovered would be appreciated and welcomed.
It is in everyone’s best interests to be aware of what we are stating here. We shall post this letter on our blog about September 15, 2013. We hope that this will give you adequate time to give a positive and comprehensive reply, which we would also like to post for the information of the internet community of which Amazon is a very important part. If, for some reason, you wish us to delay the posting(s), please let us know.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Deceit Catcher
