ZHR Global Scam: Fake Investment Adviser Forex Scheme

ZHR Global entered warning records in summer 2026 as a scheme that promises high returns, together with an "investment adviser", to people reached by phone and message in Türkiye. The picture described is always the same: profit appears in the account, and when money is requested, first a new investment and then an extra payment for withdrawal is demanded.

In short: ZHR Global is not authorised in Türkiye by the Capital Markets Board (SPK); it has no registration in Türkiye as an intermediary institution, portfolio management company or investment adviser. The method used is rounds of investment growing under adviser pressure and tying withdrawal to fees. In cases of this kind, legal routes are open.

🚩 The Scheme Run Under the ZHR Global Name

The reported flow has four stages and hardly ever changes in schemes of this kind:

  • A representative who calls frequently and introduces himself as an "investment adviser"
  • A first investment made with the promise of high returns in a short time
  • Profits shown on the panel, with a new investment requested so as "not to miss the opportunity"
  • The balance not being released on a withdrawal request, with an extra payment as a condition

🔍 Registration and Domain Checks

No institution under the name ZHR Global appears in the SPK's list of authorised intermediary institutions. The names zhrglobal.com, zhr-global.com and zhrglobal.net are also unregistered; such schemes are known to use investor-specific links and frequently changing domain names to avoid detection. There is no connection between this scheme and human resources or consultancy companies with similar names.

SPK Decision No. 5/173 dated 3 February 2017 warns investors against unauthorised investment advice and guidance activity carried out through social media and communication channels.
