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.

Varya, for helping me get out of the deepest abyss in my life.
I hesitated for a long time to write this review because I still can't calmly recall what I went through. When the person I loved left my life, it was as if the world around me ceased to exist. I lived on autopilot, forced a smile, and cried into my pillow at night so no one could hear. The pain was so intense that at times I felt like my heart might actually break. Every morning I woke up with one thought: why did this happen to me? I lost my peace, sleep, appetite, and faith that I would ever be happy again. The worst thing... I lost hope. I learned about Varya, the molfarka, completely by chance. Honestly, I contacted her without much faith. I simply had nothing left to hold on to. But from the first minutes of our conversation, I felt the warmth and support I sorely needed. She didn't judge or make empty promises, but helped me regain my faith in myself and that my story wasn't over yet. Some time passed, and changes began to happen in my life. At first, small, almost unnoticeable. Then more and more. And one day, something happened that I had been waiting for with all my heart and at the same time dreaded waiting for... my loved one appeared in my life again. I will never forget that day. My hands were shaking, tears were flowing of their own accord, and my heart was beating so hard it felt like it wanted to burst out of my chest. It seemed that after an endless winter, spring had finally arrived. At that moment, I realized that happiness still exists. Today we are together again. We are learning to appreciate each other, cherish our feelings and not repeat past mistakes. And every day I thank fate for this chance. Because with my loved one, joy, faith in the future and the desire to live have returned to me. Thank you, Varya, for helping me climb out of the deepest abyss in my life. Thank you for hope when there was none left. You will forever remain a person whom I will remember with great gratitude and warmth in my heart. Tel. +380632574828 Viber/WhatsApp
I contacted Maria for remote palm reading via WhatsApp, and her ability to read the lines on my palm even from a distance amazed me. She accurately described my life circumstances, my strengths and weaknesses, and gave me advice that helped me make important decisions. Maria has a real gift, and her help was invaluable. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for answers and is not afraid to try remote fortune telling. Contact: +18473130212 (Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram).

I want to sincerely thank Lilia for her help, support, and incredible attention to my situation! When I turned to her, I felt like my life had lost its meaning. I was completely lost, saw no way out, and had almost resigned myself to the fact that my loved one would no longer be by my side. It felt like my whole world was collapsing along with my relationship. But thanks to Lilia, I believed in the best again. Her support, sensitivity, and work helped bring the most precious person back into my life. Now we are together again, and I can't put into words how happy I feel. She literally gave me back hope, joy, and meaning in my life. Thank you, Lilia, for being there, supporting me, and not letting me give up. I am endlessly grateful to you for the opportunity to be with the person I love again! I wholeheartedly recommend Lilia to anyone going through a difficult period in a relationship and believing that things can still change. USA: +19297133433 WhatsApp: +380932665520
I recommend a good clairvoyant. My honest review! (+380667493555 WhatsApp)
Hello, ladies! I'd like to wholeheartedly recommend Natalya Valeryevna. Before coming to her, I'd visited so many fortune tellers and fortune tellers, but no one could help at all—they just talked generalities and raked in the money. I messaged her on WhatsApp (+380667493555) without much hope. We called each other, just talking voice-over, no cameras. The session includes everything: she reads tarot cards, looks at photos, and even goes through a horoscope and digital psychology. I was in shock; she read my entire life like a book! The ritual she performed for me to cleanse me of negativity really worked, and within a couple of weeks my life immediately improved. I recommend a good clairvoyant; she's not a charlatan!
