Cryptocurrency investment scams are on the rise. These scammers seek victims on social media, dating apps, and text messaging apps. Under the leadership of Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office combats internet scams with preventive measures and public education. A virtual currency unit has been established that deals with such crimes and advocates for increased protection measures. SIGNS THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO INVOLVE YOU INTO A CRYPTOCURRENCY SCAM • You are added to a WhatsApp or Telegram group chat that offers advice on how to invest in cryptocurrency and promises to get rich quick. • You receive the “wrong message” from a stranger who is trying to make friends and talking about how much money he has made investing in cryptocurrency. • Someone on Facebook posts and brags about how much money they've made in cryptocurrency and says they can help you get rich. • Someone you have never met in person begins to give you advice and promises about investing in cryptocurrency; investment returns seem too good to be true. • A financial advisor or cryptocurrency customer service communicates with you via Telegram or WhatsApp. • You can receive small amounts of money at the beginning, but you cannot withdraw money without having to pay tax or an additional fee. • You will be asked to download an app to track your investments from a cryptocurrency website from a company you have never heard of before. • You are asked to hand over large sums of cash to the company courier in person. HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF? • Check if the company is legit. Check if the company has a license to operate in New York State. Call New York State Department of Finance. Financial hotline Department: 800-342-3736 or visit their website at:www.dfs.ny.gov/who_we_supervise • Do not trust cryptocurrency investments. Opportunities that seem too good may not always be true. • Do not download investment apps from websites that are not verified for cryptocurrency investing. • Don't install apps that force you to override your phone's security features. • Do not make a cryptocurrency investment based on the advice of someone you have never met in person. • Never download programs like AnyDesk that allow remote access to your computer. • Don't pay extra money to try to get your investment back from a cryptocurrency website. "By increasing awareness and knowledge in our communities to protect ourselves, we can combat online scammers. Let's work together to keep Brooklyn safe," District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.

A tribute about Matrona - the woman who turned my heart and turned my head
A little about Matrona - the woman who turned my heart and turned my man. I never thought that I could be like this... The man with whom we have passed so many rocks at once, changing in rapture... becoming a stranger, cold. And then just drink. Having lost your empty home and heart, break into friends. I burst into tears at night, caught myself in my thoughts, and I can no longer feel the truth. It seemed to me that life was over. For the joy of someone I knew, I ran to Matronya. Honestly, I left through the fog, without hope, just to listen to me. If only I could see those warm, deep eyes that could pierce my soul... I realized that I didn’t come for nothing. Vaughn said that she felt in my homeland that there were no ties between us and the man, he was simply overwhelmed by the dark image and someone else’s influx. The matron performed the ceremony. That evening I cried, and washed away everything that had accumulated in my soul over many months. And then the changes began. Lightness at the beginning, then a ringing sound from the man. His voice is trembling... He said that he can do it, that he wants to straighten everything out. A few days later I turned home. Just taking my hands and whispering: “Probach. I realized that I can’t live without you.” That’s why I’m dear to the Matrona of God. She turned not just a person... she turned the sense of life, warmth, and faith into wonder. Matrona is a person with a heavenly gift, a kind heart and a great soul. Dear Matrono, you have become a dear to me. I thank you for those who turned their love back, for I have already mourned the strength and the light will never go out. You will lose my heart forever. ЇЇ number +380630228999 viber/whatsapp
My husband and I divorced. I tried to let it all go, but my heart was breaking. He started living with someone else, and I suffered in silence. I couldn't sleep at night, praying. I stumbled across Lilia's page by chance, and it was as if an inner voice said, "Contact me." So I wrote. She immediately said, "This isn't the end. You haven't let him go, and he hasn't let you go either." Everything she did was silent, without fuss or promises, but a month later he returned. He just showed up. And we started all over again. Thank you, Lilia, for your faith, for your support, and for being there. Contacts +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
