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.

The family was on the verge of divorce, but Lilia helped
My husband and I were together for 12 years, we had two children. Everything was heading towards divorce - he became cold, was constantly at work, then admitted that he fell in love with another woman. I was desperate. I read about Lilia on one of the forums. I didn’t decide right away, but everything matched: the symptoms, the distance, the strange behavior of my husband... Lilia said that she saw interference, that he was “taken” for a reason. I started working - I did an energy cleansing, then a ritual to restore feelings. A week later, my husband began to return - at first neutrally, then he began to say that all this was some kind of nonsense. A month later, he returned home. We started all over again. I would not have coped without her. Lilia really saved my family. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
I wrote to Lilya in tears, not eating or sleeping for three days… My husband left me for another woman, saying he didn't love me anymore and that he was tired. We had been together for 17 years and had two children. I was absolutely devastated. Lilya didn't just listen – she immediately saw that there was a disconnect between us. She worked with me for several days, cleansing me and performing rituals to restore my connection. And a week later, he came to me himself. In tears. He said he couldn't live without me and asked for forgiveness. I still can't believe it happened. Thank you, Lilya. You saved my family. Contacts +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
My husband and I have been through a lot, but at some point he left, saying that he didn’t love me anymore. Those were the hardest days of my life. I turned to Lilya because I felt that it wasn’t the end. And she confirmed it. She felt our connection, started working through rituals, cleansing, prayers. I was also changing in the process. A few days later he called. He said that he couldn’t forget. And then he came with flowers. Now we are restoring our relationship and I believe that everything will be fine. Thank you, Lilya. You are doing the impossible. (+380638055486 WhatsApp Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
Lilia, you came into my life just when I'd almost given up hope. The pain of the breakup was unbearable, and my heart was broken. But thanks to your support, advice, and insight, the seemingly impossible happened: my loved one returned. You helped me not just get him back, but get us both back. We became closer, began to hear each other, and truly understand each other. Thank you for that. May your light help many more.

White magic, prayers, fortune telling - Olga Nikolaevna helped
My story may seem typical to some, but I still believe that Olga Nikolaevna changed my fate. I came to her when I was deeply depressed after losing a loved one. The pain would not go away, my dreams were disturbing, my health was constantly failing. Psychologists did not help - everything felt like some kind of shadow on me. I found out about Olga Nikolaevna through a friend who had already contacted her. I called her on Viber: +380687014758. The session was remote, but very powerful. She said that I not only had an energy leak, but also a trace of a strong evil eye that had been going on since the funeral. She cleansed me, explained how to close the pain channels, what prayers to read. She did everything with great respect, without fear, without pressure. Three days after the ceremony, I felt light - for the first time in months. And then I started to come back to life: I had more strength, they removed my diagnosis based on hormones, and I started working again. Now I always know who to turn to. Olga Nikolaevna is not just a clairvoyant, she is a very bright person. Viber: +380687014758.
