INVESTMENT FRAUD

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

• 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.

After her help we became a couple again

I thought I had lost him forever. He just left, left a note that he was tired, that he "wanted to be alone." No calls, no messages. I didn't know what to do. I found Lilia by chance - just by searching for "clairvoyant, get my husband back." At first I didn't believe her. But she immediately named the rival from the photo, said that there was a binding, and that it could be removed. Five days later he wrote: "Sorry. I feel bad. I don't understand what's happening." Ten days later he came. Now we are together, he is like a different person. He is not aggressive, he has become attentive, caring. I am grateful to Lilia not only for getting my husband back, but also for giving me hope when I no longer believed.

MAG ZAKHAR +380954248510

I was sitting on the train, tears streaming down my cheeks, my heart breaking. My boyfriend, the love of my life, had left. Not just left, but for his ex! I knew, I felt, that something was wrong. He couldn't have gone crazy so suddenly. And then a fellow passenger, an elderly, wise woman, carefully asked what had happened. I told her everything, and after listening, she quietly said it looked like a love spell. She recommended a powerful clairvoyant magician. According to her, he had helped more than one of her friends in even more difficult situations. I thought about it, but wrote down the phone number. Desperation pushed me to take this step. Using the phone number, I found many good reviews about Zakhar online. I messaged him on Viber and arranged a meeting. He was completely different from what I had imagined – calm, insightful, incredibly wise. I was shocked that I didn't have to tell him anything. Zakhar is such a powerful clairvoyant that he was able to tell me everything himself. My worst fears about a powerful love spell were only confirmed. Zakhar agreed to take the job. Within days, my boyfriend made contact, and his behavior began to change. He started calling, seeking meetings, and his gaze returned to its former, warm and loving expression. And then the incredible happened! My beloved came to me with a ring and proposed. I cried with happiness! Now we are married and live in mutual understanding. I am grateful to fate for that travel companion and, of course, for the magician Zakhar, who restored our happiness. He didn't just give me back my boyfriend; he gave me back my life! Zakhar's number is +380954248510

Lily is a truly bright person!

Lilia is a truly bright person! I turned to her during the most difficult time: my husband left me for another woman, and I was on the verge of despair. Lilia conducted a diagnosis and said we could be brought back together. I followed her recommendations, and the result exceeded all expectations—my husband came to me himself, repented, and asked for forgiveness. Now we are restoring our relationship, and I feel like a happy wife. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
