Kimkins Class Action Lawsuit Verdict To Be Announced Friday!

After 3 long awaited years, the verdict to the lawsuit against Kimkins.com is to be announced tomorrow morning at 10:30 am at the Hawthorne satellite court of the Riverside court house in Riverside California.

Look for Court Room 2.

Court precedings began earlier this week. Class representatives flew in from all over the country to participate and testify their experiences.

The Kimkins diet advocated a low carb and low calorie diet, and was run by Heidi Diaz of Corona California. Heidi Diaz is not a certified health care professional, and used false photography to represent herself and “supposed” members of the site. Some inspiration stories were later found out to be not the experiences of real people.

In a shocking undercover video, Ms. Diaz was revealed to not be the svelte woman in the red dress as advertised on her site back in 2007. In fact, that photo was “borrowed” from a Russian bride website as well as many others.

More news to follow.

Please feel free to share this breaking news with local California news sources, as well as national press.

Some of these sites may appear repetitive, but the ads run on multiple pages on these.

How do I know these are hosted on Kimkins? Well, it is quite easy once you know the address of the file – look at this video:

So, once you get that address, you can submit it to something to check the backlinks – like backlinkwatch.

Then, when the backlinks appear, click on them to see what sites they originate from. What is really cool after that is hovering over the ad.  You will clearly see an affiliate ID attached to the ad.

My results above were only from looking up the backlinks to just one image.

Some of these sites are hosted outside of the US, but if you remove the source image, they will disappear.
