Amazon is
Fed Up of Theos Medical Systems and its Deceit and Fraud on Amazon and
Elsewhere.
Products
sold by Theos Medical Systems are no longer listed on Amazon.com.
Amazon appears to have removed Theos Medical Systems as a seller on
Amazon.com. This is most likely because Amazon got fed up with Theos Medical
Systems’ severe manipulation of Amazon Reviews and other severe ethical
violations.
Theos has been shown to severely manipulate his Chummie products
favorably through the use of shills and other illegitimate means, and use
similar unethical means to downgrade competitors’ products on Amazon’s Reviews.
Theos has a well established reputation for being by far the most unethical
bedwetting alarm seller in the United States. These transgressions have been
very thoroughly documented and explained on at least two public internet
sites:
It seems that the only
Chummie products that Amazon is currently offering are the few that Amazon
unfortunately decided to sell, before they became adequately aware of Theos
Medical Systems’ hypocrisy. One may assume that when Amazon depletes this
inventory, Amazon will have nothing further to do with Theos Medical Systems or
its Chummie products.
It is sincerely hoped that
Amazon will pay attention, as Theos is perfectly capable of trying to sneak
back into Amazon through name changes and other fronts, all of which would
result in the same and continuing troubles for Amazon and its customers.
Please note that this blog entry was on October 4, 2014, about one-and-a-half
months ago. Although we were aware of this site before today, we wanted to wait
and ascertain what was stated in this site before publishing it here. Today, we
can verify and declare that Theos Medical Systems is no longer a seller on
Amazon.com .
Doing a Google Search for
Amazon Theos Medical Systems
the first search results are for
"Amazon At a Glance: Theos
Medical Systems"
which provides "No
Results" for Theos Medical Systems or their Storefront on Amazon.com .
We find it re-assuring that Amazon is paying attention to the large number of
violations apparently perpetrated by Theos Medical Systems and their extensive deceit,
both with regards to hyping their Chummie products and also falsely and
unethically attacking their competitors. This has been the underlying
philosophy of Theos from the time they came into existence in approximately the
summer of 2011. Based on our knowledge of Theos Medical Systems through following
them since about May, 2013, we can speculate that:
1. Theos knew that they had inferior products that were
ridiculously overpriced. See sources such as http://www.bed-wettingalarms.com/
which compare essentially all of the bedwetting alarms on the U.S. market in
great detail and very technically. It is very obvious to us that Chummie products are
completely outclassed, both technically and with respect to price. So Theos
invented (and continues to emphasize) nonsensical comparisons of alarms to
other alarms that are much older, and never to newer technology at a lower
price. Theos had to blow its horn very loudly in the hope that the poor unassuming
customer would not see that they were being taken for a ride. Theos's entire
strategy appears to have hinged upon looking very successful on Amazon, where they found
numerous unethical ways to manipulate their Reviews on Amazon, adding 5-stars
and removing 1-star reviews, and likely manipulating where they would appear when
a potential customer looked at the reviews, so that the high-stars reviews
would be at the beginning and create a strong impression.
2. Theos attacked its competitors very strongly and unethically,
inventing all sort of absurd charges and claims, Many of these are documented
in this blog. Theos seems to have particularly zeroed in on DryBuddy and has
numerous false and fictitious blogs and other statements about DryBuddy on the
internet. We are aware that Theos likely manipulated DryBuddy's reviews on
Amazon, placing numerous fake "poor" reviews for DryBuddy products so
as to make them look unattractive on Amazon. It is quite obvious to us that
Theos considered DryBuddy to be its greatest long-term threat, as DryBuddy was
being truly innovative with its products and offering them at a very reasonable
price. A major current and future threat that Theos must put down!
Theos also
attacked Malem, going so far as to get a U.S. Trademark on Malem's name for
bedwetting alarms. This matter is in the Courts at present. It is not clear to
us why Theos did this, except to possibly prevent Malem from selling its
products in the U.S. using the Malem name which has been used for many years.
Again, this appears to be deceitful and lacking ethics, and demonstrates a propensity to do what Theos thinks is best
for itself with no concern for ethics or any of the better and general accepted
facets of American society.
Many of these issues have been dealt with at some depth in this blog. Please
read other blog entries for further information.
Which brings us to the last paragraph in our copy of the blog at the beginning:
It is sincerely hoped that Amazon will pay attention, as Theos is
perfectly capable of trying to sneak back into Amazon through name changes and
other fronts, all of which would result in the same and continuing troubles for
Amazon and its customers.
This
is already coming about. We have noticed that a new seller on Amazon, with a
new name and no further identity, has started to offer certain Chummie products
on Amazon. In and of itself, we have no objections to anybody offering products
on Amazon, if they are acceptable to Amazon. But we do have to ask two
important questions:
1.
This Chummie product being offered by the new seller continues to have
associated with it all of the abundantly fake reviews that Theos had developed
for this product. This has been very thoroughly examined in the blog
Unfortunately,
Amazon did not remove these fake reviews. So this fake Theos gets the unearned
benefit of over 120 fake reviews which are, of course, superlative. We
sincerely hope that Amazon, while cleaning up Theos's dirty works on Amazon,
will remove all of these reviews.
2. You, the customer
-
Are you going to ignore the abundant
negative evidence about Theos Medical Systems? Ignore the evidence that was
strong enough for Amazon to revoke Theos's selling privileges on Amazon.com,
the most severe action that Amazon could take against a seller who is in strong
violation of Amazon's policies and general ethics?
Are you going to buy inferior
products at inflated prices from a seller who has been abundantly proved to be
dishonorable and irresponsible in the fake promotion of his products, and
aggressively and falsely attacking his competitors? This is NOT how business is
conducted in America, using bullying and nefarious tactics and abundant false
information!
We certainly hope that you, the
customer, will strongly deny and turn down Theos, and prevent him from benefiting
from your business, unless Theos becomes abundantly open and honest and revokes and
removes both his false advertising and attacks on his competitors. This is the
only honorable way to proceed with a nefarious and dishonorable party, to
deny him the profit of his dishonest and misdirected activities.
