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.

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.
Ladies, I want to share my sorrow and joy. My husband left me after 15 years of marriage. He simply packed his things and went to another woman, as if he'd been replaced—cold, distant, and completely oblivious to the children. I tried many, but only Maria immediately told me: he had a love spell, and it was done very badly. She worked with me remotely via Viber. What I liked was that there was no nefariousness, only white magic and prayers. Everything was very calm and safe. After two weeks, my husband started calling, and a month later he came home, begging for forgiveness on his knees. Now everything is fine with us, like a second honeymoon. If your family is falling apart, don't wait, message her on Viber +1 847 313 02 12. Maria, thank you so much for saving my happiness!
I love my husband very much; we've been together for 16 years. I never would have thought that someone could cast a spell on our family. He's not an easy man, but I fell in love with him for it. A year ago, I noticed changes in his behavior; he started treating me coldly and aggressively. We started arguing, and he declared that he no longer loved me and wanted to leave. I couldn't stand it and decided to find someone who could help me. I found Lilia on a forum. I didn't believe in fortune-telling, but the things Lilia told me about me and my past—I had no choice but to believe them. And for good reason! Thanks to her cleansing and rituals, she was able to restore his love. I don't know if it's a miracle or not, but Lilia is a very powerful clairvoyant. I'm writing here because I promised to give a review, and I recommend Lilia to anyone who really needs help. Here are her WhatsApp contacts: +380 93 266 5520 USA: +1 (929) 713-3433
