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 thought it was all over. My husband had grown cold, the house was cold, and there were constant arguments. A friend practically insisted: "Go to Lilya, she brings people back to life." At first, I didn't believe her, but after the first consultation, it was like a weight had been lifted from my soul. Lilya said we were cursed with discord. She performed several rituals, and within a couple of days, my husband became softer and started smiling. Now we live like before, even better—with love and respect. Lilya, thank you, my dear, and I bow low to you for bringing warmth back into our hearts! Her number is (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433

Real result after rituals with Olga Nikolaevna I turned to her because of money problems and constant failures. It seemed that everything I touched was collapsing. Even my health began to fail. Olga Nikolaevna saw the road closures, made diagnostics and began the cleansing. After the first week I felt inner relief, and a month later I received a job offer that completely changed my life. She does everything with faith and light, very kindly, with prayers. Her fortune telling is accurate, without unnecessary things. I recommend her with all my heart! Contact: +380687014758

Lily helped me see where I had closed myself off from love, where I had stopped feeling.
I came to Lilia when my husband and I were separated, like two strangers. Lilia helped me see where I had closed myself off from love, where I had stopped feeling. We both began to change.
