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.

Let not the hand of the giver be empty Sometimes, to feel the real pulse of New York City, you don't have to go to Manhattan's business district. Marina Lagunova
For a whole year, I lived with the pain of my husband's passing. I felt lonely and unwanted. During the most difficult days, I decided to turn to Marfa. She helped me overcome despair and believe that life could still change. One day, my husband texted me. Then came conversations, meetings, and a long road to reconciliation. Today, we live together again and cherish every day we spend together. Thank you, Marfa, for your support and hope. Fortune teller Marfa Viber / WhatsApp: +380931150260

Where can I find a powerful fortune teller? My review | WhatsApp: +380667493555
Ladies, if anyone's going through a complete mess right now and you're feeling down, don't give up. I was on the brink of divorce six months ago, and I visited so many fortune tellers it's scary to even think about it, but no one could help. A colleague at work recommended Natalya Valeryevna to me. An appointment with her was simply wonderful! We had a casual online conversation, no camera. She immediately saw the root of the problem from my photo and tarot cards, and using my horoscope and digital psychology, she laid everything out so perfectly that it all clicked into place. Her rituals are incredibly powerful, and my husband returned to the family literally within a month, and our relationship is even better now than before the crisis. Message her on WhatsApp +380667493555, she's the best!
I wholeheartedly give you the contact information of a real clairvoyant, Lilia. She truly helps and removes negativity. I've been turning to different people for a year now, spending so much time and money, and to no avail. But Lilia is a true professional from the bottom of my heart. I didn't say anything to her; she saw it herself and told everything as it is, and even said things about my past that no one knew. In short, she's a true clairvoyant. I was feeling negative, and my husband and I had a fight, and he left the family. I was about to give up, but Lilia was able to bring him back, remove the negativity from us, and put up protection. I recommend her; she's a godsend. I'll leave her contact information for those who have already lost hope (+380638055486 WhatsApp, Viber) (+19297133433 USA)
