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 hesitated for a long time to write this review, but my gratitude is stronger. When my husband left me after 18 years of marriage, it was as if my world had collapsed. I stopped eating, sleeping, and enjoying life. On a friend's advice, I turned to Marfa. She immediately saw what I hadn't told anyone. After talking with her, I felt hope. Gradually, my husband began to contact me, showed interest in the children, and then admitted he had made a mistake. Today, we are living together again. Every day I thank fate for meeting Marfa. Her number is +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp
Girls, I'm shocked! All of Maria's predictions came true 100%! This is a real review.
Hello everyone. I'd like to leave a review for those looking for a truly accurate fortune teller, not those who speak in generalities like "I see a long road and a government building." I've always been skeptical about fortune telling, but when I reached a dead end in my life (I didn't know whether to quit my job, and things were going badly with my boyfriend), I decided to seek one. I found the clairvoyant Maria's contact information online. I messaged her on Viber at +18473130212. We worked remotely using photos. Ladies, the way she tells my fortunes is absolutely spine-chilling! She didn't ask a single leading question, but immediately laid out my life as if she'd been living with me all these years. She told me about my past, pointed out the evil eye from a close "friend" (I later realized who she was talking about), and gave me a detailed prediction of my future six months in advance. She named the exact month I'd meet another man and when I'd be offered a new position if I left my old one. Four months have passed, and I'm writing this with tears of joy—EVERYTHING came true, down to the last detail! I quit my job, immediately found a great position, and a month ago I met my future husband (Maria even described his appearance and car perfectly!). Maria works only with white magic and prayers, and her help is completely safe. She accepts both in-person and remote clients. Save Maria's Viber number: +18473130212; she truly sees destiny.
