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.

I'm leaving a review about a very good person who really helps people. I found myself in a very difficult situation, so much so that I was about to give up. Then I came across a review about a powerful sorceress. I called and sent her only my photo, as she requested. I was skeptical, but after hearing what she started saying, I realized she wasn't some charlatan, but a truly powerful magician. My problem was that my loved one broke up with me. I asked her for help getting him back. She promised to help me, and she did. Some time passed, and he started calling and coming back. I couldn't believe it was possible, but it's real. I recommend you contact this sorceress. I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
Thanks to Lilia for her help – even skeptics make mistakes sometimes.
I'll be honest—I've always been wary of clairvoyants. But when my family situation became critical, I decided to try everything. I turned to Lilia and was surprised by how accurately she described my life. We had several sessions, and within a week I saw changes: my husband started contacting me, showing interest in me, and seeking meetings. A month later, he himself asked me to come back. I don't know how it works, but it did. I thank Lilia for her help—even skeptics make mistakes sometimes. I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
Sometimes fate presents us with trials when it seems all is lost... That's how it was for me. My husband left, and there was coldness, resentment, and unspoken feelings between us. I was beside myself, crying at night and praying to somehow bring back what was so dear to my heart. On the advice of a friend, I turned to Raisa, and now I understand it was a decision sent from above. Raisa greeted me like family: with warmth, attention, and a special light in her eyes. She felt my pain without words. She performed a ritual, telling me everything as if she had known us for years. Within a few days, I noticed changes: my husband began asking how I was doing, then he called and asked to meet... And then everything seemed to fall into place. Now we are together again, and I thank fate every day for bringing me to Raisa. Thanks to her, love, understanding, and tenderness have returned to our home. Raisa isn't just a fortune teller; she's like an angel who helps hearts find each other again. Dear Raisa, thank you for your gift, for your kind heart, and for bringing back my happiness. May your life be as full of light as you give to others! +380992927182 Viber
Zakhar gave me back the meaning of life and the belief that even from the darkest depths one can emerge into the light.
When my boyfriend left, I didn't know how to move on. I was left alone in New York, and I wasn't prepared for this at all. My heart was breaking with pain, and time was running out. The savings I'd accumulated in Florida were melting like dew in the sun, and I even considered leaving the US to be with my mother in Italy, where she'd lived for the past three years. It seemed all was lost. That's when I stumbled upon the contacts of the magician Zakhar. I was worried about whether he'd be able to see my situation remotely, but distance wasn't a problem for him. My very first conversation with Zakhar amazed me. He saw everything down to the last detail without asking anything. His calm and confidence gave me hope. He said he could help, and I grasped at that straw. Magic... I always thought it was something from movies, but Zakhar showed me that real magic is faith and the ability to channel energy. And a miracle happened! My beloved came back. He realized how much he needed me and that our breakup was a mistake. And then... then he proposed! It was like a dream come true. Today we are married, and every day I thank fate and, of course, Zakhar for our happiness with my beloved. We have a beautiful daughter. Our family is the most precious thing I have. Zakhar gave me back my meaning in life and the belief that even from the darkest depths, you can emerge into the light. I advise you not to despair and don't be shy about asking for help. Zakhar's magician's number is +380954248510. I communicated with him via WhatsApp.
