[[File:Lctpglobal.jpg|thumb|Pig Butchering Collage]]Victims are typically lured to invest on the ZBG Global platform through a fake online relationship. These can often be quite intimate and last weeks or months. Victims can invest a small amount and withdraw with profits if they wish to "test" the platform, however the moment they try to withdraw a larger amount they will be met with fees which have to be paid from outside the platform. No matter what fees are paid, they will never receive their money.

This is a global/international case not involving a specific country.<ref name="redditold-11266" /><ref name="redditold-11267" /><ref name="redditold-11268" /><ref name="ic3-11269" /><ref name="redditold-11270" />

== About ZBG Global ==
"I've been scammed via a fake ZBG platform out of about $40,000 (every cent I have plus bank loan)." "I guess they made me the fat pig"

"I reached out to a few asset recovery companies and" "T&H Consulting or CNC Intelligence" "look the most promising (i'm in talks with them now)."

"At least CNC admitted that it will take the cooperation of my local and federal law enforcement as well as Interpol to try and get my money back (after CNC creates the evidence / report for them)." "CNC wants $900US to do their research and create a report which I'm to give to my local / fed law enforecement."
