We have expressed our concern over and been pointing out the excessive fake content that Chummie's owner Saket Bahtia (Bhatia) has been dumping on the public to convince them that his antiquated Chummie alarms are exceptional. One of his touts has always been the words "Award winning." Since we are well aware of his strong tendency to say whatever suits him, as opposed to whatever is factual and true, we thought it appropriate to look into these awards that Chummie is supposed to have won.
We could find nothing on Chummie's web site which indicated what awards Chummie received. Nor was there anything on Chummie's product page on Amazon, eBay or any other site that Bhatia was trying to sell his alarms on. For example, on the Chummie site as Reason # 1 for buying a Chummie alarm, Bhatia claims "Chummie has won numerous awards for outstanding technology and product line." But no listing of the awards.
Then, wonder of wonders, on his Facebook page, starting with the words "Award Winning Bedwetting Alarm" we read
OK. So we checked on these awards, both who may be giving them and what award was given. We did a Google Search for the awarding party by itself, which should show whether such an organization exists. We also searched for the award party together with Chummie or Theos or Bhatia to try and identify what award Chummie may have received. So, going down the above list:
1. National Pediatric Society of India. There is no such organization or party.
2. Silicon Valley Awards. The organization exists but appears to be an organization controlled and peopled by persons of Indian background in that area. We would very substantially discount such an award, given to a local Indian. Very poor and dubious value, being given an award by what could be considered to be a club of local Indians.
3. Pediatric Association of Oman. This exists, but we could find no reference to Chummie or its parent. An Arab country with a population of about 3 millions, and not exactly modern. Even IF there is some award, how much credence can we give to such an award? Very poor and dubious value, if there is any.
4. Pediatric Urology Society of Hungary. We could find a single reference for 2002, many years before Chummie/Theos existed, which was a very short statement of its history. No other reference could be found. Any award from such a small "may not be there" organization, IF there is an award, would be of very poor and dubious value.
5. Indian Academy of Pediatric Urology. There is no such organization or party.
6. Pediatric Society of Malaysia. There is no organization or party of this name.
So, the only "award" we could verify is provided to Bhatia by his buddies at the Silicon Valley Awards. As we said earlier, an award of very poor and dubious value.
The other organizations that Bhatia references are all non-existent, or in out-of-the-way places and may not be in existence.
So more fake nonsense or gross exaggerations from Bhatia. He does appear to have a devious mind and suggests non-existing or very remote organizations as having given him awards. This way he is unlikely to be confronted by the "award giving" organization for fraud, defamation, misrepresentation, or any other term that a bona fide lawyer would consider to be appropriate. But he cannot fathom that the fakery that he considers to be acceptable is repugnant to most of the world.
Another grand dose of hype from the master of trickery! Wake up America! And you too, World!
