Poking Kimkins Affiliates

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

I had to do it…

Dear sir or madam,

I assume that you are aware of the fact that the founder of Kimkins committed fraud by claiming to have had a dramatic weight loss. I noticed that you are continuing to update your affiliate site and I am wondering if you realize that you are exposing yourself to potential legal action by continuing to publish lies.

I would appreciate any response to this email and I must advise you that I would consider publishing the content on a blog.

Sincerely,

Martin

And, less than 20 minutes later (Know any people who get into trouble with impulsive behavior ?)

wouter van dyck to me 8:22 pm (23 minutes ago)

who are you and why should i justify myself to you?

i don’t now how you do your research but that blog isn’t updated in like 2 months

and as far is i now, i really don’t follow that, there has been no conviction or arrest so legal action against me?

please

wouter didn’t put his name at the bottom of the response. I don’t know if he had intended to reply anonymously.

A Little Housekeeping Required for Kimkins.com

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Kimkins is optimized for search engines. The SEP work was carried out before Heidi Diaz came clean about her actual weight. If you search the term Kimkins on Google, you will see Kimkins.com at the top of the search. Below the site description are seven links to pages within the site. One of them is the old Who is Kimmer page. On that page is the fraudulent after picture and also the 198 lb weight loss claim and the text of the old interview with Jimmy Moore. This page should be deleted. I have to wonder whether it had been left up on purpose.

Edit: The page no longer accessible.

Reality Check

Heidi Diaz has decided to, in her words, come clean on the Kimkins website. She is no longer claiming to look like any of these after photos. I couldn’t help but notice that the recent photograph of the real Kimmer that was added to the website today looks a bit vertically stretched. I am curious as to what other people think.

Please feel free to leave comments on this blog. I have had to use full moderation, but I will be approving as often as possible.

An Aside about Kimkins

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

Google Trends is a tool from Google that has not really caught on. I guess the disclaimers about accuracy might have something to do with that. Nevertheless, when I was researching something entirely unrelated, I got the idea to see what the Trends Graph for Kimkins looked like.

Take a moment to picture what you think it might look like before you click the link.

YouTube Videos

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

This is just a quick post to remind people who have an interest in Kimkins that there is a Slamboard YouTube Channel with a couple of relevant videos.

I chose not to embed these videos on this blog, but they are embeddable for any other bloggers who want to publicize them and comment on them. They are surveillance videos.
