What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Kilo Health over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Kilo Health - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.
What are they trying to censor
The Illustrious Front: Kilo Health’s Public Persona
At first glance, Kilo Health paints a picture of success and innovation. Boasting over 5 million customers worldwide, the company claims to be the second fastest-growing entity in Europe, specializing in digital health and wellness products. Their portfolio allegedly spans more than 30 products, ranging from mobile applications to hardware devices, all under the umbrella of their holding company, UAB Kilo Grupe.
But as any seasoned journalist knows, when something seems too good to be true, it often is.
Red Flags Waving in the Wind
A deeper dive into Kilo Health’s operations reveals a series of alarming red flags:
- Unauthorized Charges and Subscription ShenanigansNumerous customers have reported unexpected charges from Kilo Health, often under the name UAB Kilo Grupe, appearing on their PayPal accounts without authorization. These charges are frequently linked to subscriptions that users claim they never signed up for. One disgruntled customer noted, “I have been charged on my PayPal account the amount of $66.00 for something that I know I did not order.”
- The PayPal PredicamentVictims attempting to dispute these unauthorized charges through PayPal have often hit a brick wall. Despite numerous complaints, PayPal has, in some instances, denied disputes on the grounds that the transactions were preauthorized, leaving customers frustrated and out of pocket. As one user lamented, “I have already reported it and PayPal said that I authorized this payment which I didn’t.”
- A Trail of Negative ReviewsA quick search on platforms like Scamadviser reveals a plethora of negative reviews and scam reports associated with Kilo Health. Complaints range from unauthorized charges to poor customer service, painting a grim picture of the company’s business practices.
- Opaque Business PracticesThe company’s modus operandi raises several eyebrows. Customers have reported being charged multiple times without consent, with little to no recourse. One frustrated individual shared, “This company has somehow charged me three times without any kind of authorization.”
The Art of Silence: Kilo Health’s Censorship Tactics
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: Kilo Health’s apparent attempts to suppress negative information. It’s one thing to have dissatisfied customers; it’s another to actively stifle their voices.
- Selective Moderation and Content RemovalThere are indications that Kilo Health engages in selective moderation, removing or censoring negative feedback on their platforms. This tactic isn’t unique to them; studies have shown that entities often censor opposing viewpoints to maintain a favorable image. Such practices can disrupt democratic dialogue and skew public perception.
- Legal Threats and IntimidationWhile direct evidence linking Kilo Health to legal intimidation is scarce, it’s not uncommon for companies facing a barrage of negative publicity to resort to legal threats to silence critics. This strategy, often referred to as “Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation” (SLAPP), aims to intimidate and silence dissent through costly legal battles.
- Astroturfing and Fake ReviewsAnother common tactic is astroturfing—fabricating positive reviews to drown out genuine negative feedback. While specific instances involving Kilo Health are hard to pinpoint, the overwhelming disparity between their self-proclaimed success and the volume of complaints raises suspicions.
The Bigger Picture: Implications for Investors and Authorities
For potential investors, Kilo Health’s dubious practices should serve as a glaring warning sign. Investing isn’t just about numbers; it’s about trust, transparency, and ethical operations. A company embroiled in allegations of fraud and censorship is hardly a bedrock for a sound investment.
Authorities, too, should take note. The patterns emerging from Kilo Health’s operations—unauthorized charges, poor customer service, and potential censorship—warrant a thorough investigation. Consumers rely on regulatory bodies to protect them from such predatory practices.
Conclusion: The Thin Veneer of Respectability
Kilo Health’s polished exterior conceals a multitude of sins. Behind the facade of rapid growth and innovation lies a company that appears to prioritize profit over ethics, employing questionable tactics to maintain its image. As an investigative journalist, it’s my duty to peel back these layers and shine a light on the truth. And the truth, in this case, is a cautionary tale for consumers, investors, and regulators alike.
In the immortal words of George Orwell, “In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” It’s high time we had a revolution against the deceit perpetuated by companies like Kilo Health.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original
What Happens Next?
Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.

Kilo Health charges customers without consent and calls it a subscription. Try to get your money back, and you’ll face a maze of silence and excuses. PayPal disputes often fail thanks to shady preauthorization tactics. This isn’t wellness it’s financial...

Kilo Health’s PayPal scam is real I never signed up, yet they still charged me.
by: Oaklee Mclaughlin
Their refund policy is basically ‘good luck.’ Took me weeks and multiple emails just to get a generic response.
by: Aries McBride
Tried canceling a subscription I didn’t even know I had. The process was deliberately confusing, and customer support was useless. Scammy vibes all around.
by: Thea Duran
Just checked my PayPal history after reading this—turns out Kilo Health charged me twice last year and I had no idea. Thanks for the heads up.

Kilo Health’s attempt to suppress negative reviews proves they have something to hide. They don’t care about customers, only about their image. Beware of companies that go to these lengths to avoid scrutiny.

PayPal disputes? Don’t bother. Kilo Health’s system is rigged to keep your money, leaving customers frustrated and helpless.
by: Emma Bell
Kilo Health's "success" story is just a well-crafted lie. Behind the fancy marketing, it’s nothing more than a scam machine built on unauthorized charges and fake reviews.
