Kimkins Controversy - Kimkins Scam

Kimkins Spotlight: Google AdWords

Our readers have had tremendous success in getting the message about the Kimkins scam to Kimkins affiliates — good work!  All three of the affiliates we have spotlighted so far have pulled their links.

Now it’s time for the big guns, because we want to stop one of the major sources of new signups for Kimkins.com — the paid ad placements on Google and Google network sites from Google AdWords.  If you go to Google and search for “Kimkins” you will see that there are ads at the top or right side of the search results.  These “Sponsored Links” are paid advertisements from Kimkins affiliates or Heidi herself.

Google has a policy of refusing ads for sites featuring “miracle cures” and Kimkins is certainly marketed as a miracle cure for obesity.

Click here to contact Google AdWords to encourage them to remove these Kimkins.com ads and prevent future advertisers from buying links to Kimkins.com.  Remember to tell them:

• The “Kimmer” success story is untrue and fraudulent.  Kimmer (Heidi Diaz) is a morbidly obese woman and there is no evidence that she ever lost the weight (http://www.slamboard.com/category/kimkins-diet/).
• A great number of the other success stories are fakes using stolen pictures.
• The Kimkins.com claims of weight loss are exaggerated and unreasonable:  ” There’s no faster diet! None!”  “They’ve been told their entire lives they should be happy with slow 1-2 lb a week weight loss.  How depressing and untrue!” “Kimkins is perfect for all diabetics!”
• The Kimkins.com site advocates extremely low calories, laxative abuse, and even fasting.
• Many Kimkins dieters have suffered side effects such as heart palpitations, menstrual irregularities, hair loss, dizziness, and faintness.
• Many Kimkins members have been banned for no good reason and the site is currently rated D with the Better Business Bureau (http://www.labbb.org/BBBWeb/Forms/Business/CompanyReportPage_Expository.aspx?CompanyID=100055868).

Kimkins Affiliate Update: WLTips.com

UPDATE:  THE AFFILIATE LINKS APPEAR TO BE GONE — THANK YOU, LIZZA! 

While Lizza at WLTips.com has removed Kimmer’s fraudulent interview and changed Christin’s interview to reflect Christin’s concerns about the Kimkins diet now, WLTips.com is still affiliated with Kimkins. Note the Kimkins affiliate link at the bottom of this page. Therefore, in our view WLTips.com is knowingly participating in the Kimkins fraud and could be liable for damages that arise as a result. Please contact Lizza (lizza@wltips.com) and strongly encourage her to sever the affiliate ties. Lizza, if you are reading this, do the right thing!!

Then use the contact form (http://www.dietsinreview.com/contact/) to contact the affiliate and inform them about the issues surrounding Kimkins and Kimmer. Remember to tell the affiliate:

• Kimkins and Heidi Diaz are facing a class action lawsuit and Heidi Diaz is being investigated for fraud.
• The diet is dangerous and people are getting sick.
• When the Kimkins assets are frozen, affiliates will not be paid their commissions.

Funniest Kimkins Recap Ever

This recap of the Heidi Diaz/Kimkins/Kimmer scandal is wickedly funny:

From what I can ascertain things kept getting worse with more people getting sick/ questioning Kimkins advice and many started being banned as anti-Kimkins, jealous of the plan because they were too weak to follow it. Fast forward to Heidi Diaz’s ex business partner hiring a private investigator out to figure out what the frock was going on with all of this because throughout all of this nobody had ever met kimmer! What was discovered was that Heidi Diaz has disappeared up her own arse, evidenced here:

This really is a picture of Kimmer. So if she has lost 91 kilos and is now 118lbs (53kgs) she claims she is, then I am an anorexic. Seriously dude it looks like her left cheek alone is 53 kilos. Please, take no offence fat people of the world for I walk among you but come-the hell-on! What universe accepts THAT as 53 kilos? At the claimed weight she should packing a nice little pair ‘o peaches, not giant fucking pumpkins ready for weigh in at the fair. I think she might have lied a little on her resume - oopsie!

It seems that the private investigator discovered that Heidi Diaz is a bald (like Telly Sevalis bald), morbidly obese woman. Again oopsie! So all the advice she has given her members has been shall we say, a tad misguided.

Kimmer/Heidi Diaz’ Ex-Husband and His New Wife Speak Out About the Kimkins Scammer

This Slamboard comment appears to be from Kimmer (Heidi Diaz)’s ex-husband and/or his new wife. As Kimkins Exposed reports, Mr. and Mrs. Hector Diaz were made aware of the Kimkins scam last night:

I am writing to give you first-hand info regarding Kimmers aka Heidi Kimberly Miller Diaz. Yes, those photos are of her in front of her apartment. Yes, she is bald and doesn’t wear her wig at home. No, the photo of the woman in the red dress is not Heidi. Heidi is a 49-year-old mentally ill woman. She has served jail time for her cons in the past. This is just her latest (and most successful con) in a long string of evil behavior. She has used Brandon since he came to live with her last year. He was living with his father and step-mother because Heidi was deemed unfit to care for him. His father moved to Washington to get away from Heidi and her constant harrassment of his family. Brandon chose to stay with his mother in California. He is an innocent victim of this latest con. Heidi long ago ruined her credit and since Brandon has just turned 18, she now has access to his. Heidi has legally been on disability for mental illness since before Brandon was born. She has conned the IRS, the Social Security Administration, the foster care people, her own brother and anyone who will give her money. She has ripped off her ex-husband, impersonated his wife at their bank and many other scams. She made up an internet story years ago about how someone stole her Avon products and money from orders. She made this up along with a sad tale of being a single disabled mother, blah, blah and got people to give her money all while her district manager was sitting in the hospital with her young son who died of cancer. There was no theft. She has ripped off her older son, his girlfriend and anyone who crosses her path. She has been diagnosed as a dangerous sociopath (a criminal with no conscience), behavior Kimkins members are seeing now. She is smart enough to run a good con but then gets over-confident and messes up. Yes, the detective found incriminating evidence in her trash because she wasn’t smart enough to shred it. The photos took 6 days to obtain because she never left her apartment. She was on the computer for hours on end. When Brandon is home, she goes down in the apartment parking area and talks on her cell phone in her green van (yes, it’s hers). You need to quit giving her money and sympathy. She is evil. What kind of a mother chooses to cram her apartment full of foster boys in order to collect money for them but won’t raise her own son because he takes up space she needs for a paying customer? What kind of mother sends her son to school with notes filled with lies about missing school because she has “cancer treatments” when she was just too drunk to get up and get going? What kind of mother uses her son for her own monetary gain and risks his reputation and safety for her own greed? I know many of you don’t want to believe this is true but believe it! All of this Kimkins stuff just became known to me this evening. The only surprise is that this time, she really made some big money. Please call the Corona DA and stop her. She needs to go back to jail. She has no employees, that’s why she’s on the computer all the time. There is no overweight woman working for her and there is no one in a wheelchair. She works out of her two-story apartment, I would love to see a wheelchair go up those stairs! She is misusing her niece’s name (Vanessa Romero) as a “false” employee. She has no business giving diet advice. She has been obese for years and even had her stomach stapled years ago. She can’t manage her own weight, don’t let her tell you what to eat or belittle you. She is taking you all for a ride, I’m sorry but it’s true.

Kimkins Affiliate Spotlight: WLTips.com

Yesterday, we shone the spotlight on Kimkins affiliate TheSkinnyWebsite.com. The flood of comments the site received convinced the affiliate to investigate further, and she ended up removing all her Kimkins links once she realized that she had been unknowingly promoting a scam.

The next Kimkins affiliate we’re going to work on alerting to the Kimkins scam is WLTips.com. Last year they published an interview with Kimmer, complete with a Kimkins affiliate link on the page. It’s time to let WLTips.com know about the Kimkins scam! Drop them an email at lizza@wltips.com. Make sure to tell Lizza:

• Kimkins marketing is fraudulent. Kimmer (Heidi Diaz) is morbidly obese (see the PI pictures at www.slamboard.com).  She is not the lady in the red dress and there is no reason to believe that she ever lost 198 pounds.
• Kimkins and Heidi Diaz are facing a class action lawsuit and Heidi Diaz is being investigated for fraud.
• The diet is dangerous and people are getting sick.
• When the Kimkins assets are frozen, affiliates will not be paid their commissions.
• Affiliates who knowingly participate in this fraudulent marketing may also be liable for damages.

It’s time for WLTips.com and all the other affiliates to stop helping the scammer Heidi Diaz rip off innocent people and endanger their health!

Kimkins Affiliate Spotlight: TheSkinnyWebsite.com

Okay everyone, it’s time to start putting pressure on the Kimkins affiliates to stop marketing this fraudulent product to their audience. Direct action helped put a stop to Jimmy Moore’s promotion of Kimkins and it will help stop the rest of the affiliates too.

The first affiliate we are going to spotlight is a celebrity weight loss gossip blog called TheSkinnyWebsite. This site is read by thousands of women and it has actively fed the false “Jessica Alba does Kimkins” rumor mill. Just yesterday it linked Kimkins with Angelina Jolie’s name. Heidi Diaz has admitted that she uses these false celebrity rumors to market Kimkins to young girls.

Take a moment to go to TheSkinnyWebsite.com and tell them to stop participating in Heidi’s scam.

Make sure to tell them:

• Kimkins marketing is fraudulent. Kimmer (Heidi Diaz) is morbidly obese. She is not the lady in the red dress and there is no reason to believe that she ever lost 198 pounds.
• Kimkins and Heidi Diaz are facing a class action lawsuit and Heidi Diaz is being investigated for fraud.
• The diet is dangerous and people are getting sick.
• When the Kimkins assets are frozen, affiliates will not be paid their commissions.
• Affiliates who knowingly participate in this fraudulent marketing may also be liable for damages.

UPDATE:  THESKINNYWEBSITE.COM HAS SEVERED ITS AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIP WITH KIMKINS.COM AND REMOVED ITS LINKS.

Kimmer’s Son’s Ex Comes Forward About Mom’s Scams

Some LCF board members who are investigating the Kimkins diet scam and scammer Heidi Diaz (Kimmer) found Heidi’s ex-daughter-in-law and mother of Heidi’s grandson via her MySpace profile. Several of them wrote to her with questions about Heidi and her answers are very interesting:

She is my ex’s mom.
also Yes she is a scam artist and has been for many years.

She has been know to run many scams for many years.
She should be put behind bars for the things she has done to people.
Dennis is her son and my sons father.
I haven’t seen her in years but I believe she is probably still over weight.
I hope you get what you are looking for and i hope she gets what she deserves. she has also ripped me off.

“She Does not weigh no 118 lbs. I have just seen some recent survelience pictures of her and she is heavier now than the last time I saw her 5-6 yrs ago.
Last time I talked to her son he said she had like a million dollars in a pay pal account.
Thanks for the info but she has been doing this for years.”

Yes she does wear wigs.
She has been heavy ever since I’ve know her (8 yrs)

she is a money hungry woman.
you have no idea what this woman has done.

Kimmer’s Heartbreaking Foster Mom Stories

So touching, so beautiful — the only problem is, Kimmer/Heidi Diaz is not a foster parent (even though she has accepted donations for those imaginary foster kids). She’s a morbidly obese recluse who rarely leaves the two-bedroom apartment she shares only with her 18-year-old son. Heidi had this tale to spin today:

I’m a foster mother and take teenage boys. Why? Because everyone wants babies/toddlers, nobody wants teens.

One day I got a call for an emergency placement for a 6 year old boy, no other family in the agency had “beds”. The boy was totally darling, but wouldn’t talk due to trauma. His father had killed his mother and he found her in the closet. He began wetting the bed which is older sister said he had never done before.

About a week later we’re all at the table eating dinner. The older boys are talking, laughing. Suddenly the little boy starts talking about what happened and what he saw. The details were horrifying. But what surprised me more is that the other boys starting talking about what they had seen in their homes. Domestic violence barely describes it.

Now, it’s hard for me to listen to these stories because I have a few of my own and I’d rather not travel down memory lane BUT it’s important for those boys to get their feelings out. So I let them talk, of course.

After that night, the boys formed even closer friendships (knock on wood all of my boys get a lot) and the little boy stopped wetting the bed. It helps to verbalize (even written words).

So to balance the line between people who need to “get it out” and those who don’t want to hear about “anti-Kimmer” anymore, I’m going to open a forum, under the Playpen, called “Kimmer Chatter”.

I appreciate all of the support and kind words — truly — but there’s no winning with those people. There’s no “end”, ever. I’ve said what I have to say and now I’m going to back to work.
