Content Marketing Pros fails to provide ownership or executive information on its website.

At time of publication Content Marketing Pros’ homepage is a “coming soon…” placeholder:

This is deceptive, as Content Marketing Pros landing pages are active:

On said landing pages we find Steven Rachel. On YouTube, Rachel cites himself as a “co-founder of Content Marketing Pros”.

Circa 2022 Rachel was promoting Xifra Lifestyle:

Xifra Lifestyle collapsed in mid 2022. The Decentra Universe reboot was short-lived and didn’t go anywhere.

There might be some overlap here with Xifra Lifestyle, but since 2022 Rachel has promoted:

• MWR Financial (pyramid scheme)
• Zeus’ Bounty (MLM crypto Ponzi)
• Aluva (MLM crypto securities fraud)
• Infinity Processing System (cash gifting)
• MyEcon (credit repair)

• LiveGood (suspected pyramid scheme)
• GoFinity (supplements)
• Eaconomy (securities and commodities fraud)
• My Traffic Powerline (pyramid scheme)
• Internet Income System (cash gifting)
• Nexus Rewards (pyramid scheme)

Having just come off a weekend of being sick, I’m feeling a bit behind on the reviews. Caught up on the news yesterday and so today I wanted to get back into it.

First on the list was Make Wellness, a new MLM company revealed by Justin Prince last month.

I’d saved some notes and links in advance for when Make Wellness came up. Seeing as this was back in the first week of August, I was surprised to see Make Wellness’ website was still just a recruitment form.

Well OK then, how long is this supposed to go on for? October 31st, 2024? November 30th, 2024?!

It was around this point I realized Make Wellness’ prelaunch was a pyramid scheme. [Continue reading…]
