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.

Ever since I was a child, I've understood that many things in life happen for a reason. In my family, it was almost the norm to turn to fortune tellers, sorcerers, and people with abilities, both for personal and business matters. And many things worked out well for my parents and loved ones thanks to this. Of course, no one waited for the wind to blow or sat still trying to make money. But a little luck certainly didn't hurt. At least that's what we always said. Thanks to my parents, I received a good education, moved to another city, and started my own business. Overall, life went on as usual and without incident. But then, suddenly, acute problems began to pile up on me. In a matter of months, major losses and difficult trials followed one after another. My quiet life turned into a series of stresses and upheavals, which affected everything: my health, family relationships, and business. To the point that my wife started raising the question of divorce. And then I began to wonder if something was wrong. But it turned out I didn't have any old contacts, and the old sorcerer I'd consulted had died several years ago. So I started looking for someone to turn to. The magician Alexander eventually helped me sort everything out and put everything in order. I got his number +380971792179 through trusted sources and scheduled an appointment via WhatsApp. His level of clairvoyance and abilities really impressed me, and the results were visible quickly. Now I regularly turn to him when needed and recommend him to others.
When love almost died, the clairvoyant Lily brought my beloved back to me
I hesitated for a long time to write this review because I still can't believe this happened to me. My loved one left suddenly—coldly, without explanation, as if nothing had ever happened between us. I was left alone with my pain and the questions "Why?" and "Why?" I turned to clairvoyant Lilia in complete despair. She calmly, without unnecessary words, told me about our situation as if she had known us for many years. She said that he had feelings, but he was confused. A little time passed—and then he showed up himself. At first cautiously, then with confessions and tears. Now we are together again. I am grateful to Lilia for helping me bring back my loved one and saving what seemed already destroyed. I will leave her contact information here for those who have already lost their hope (+380638055486 WhatsApp, Viber) (+19297133433 USA)
