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.

Clairvoyant, tarot reader in New York

I'm not a fan of fortune telling, but a situation compelled me to seek it out. I found Daria through reviews. We chatted online. She was very accurate in my situation, described my current situation, and gave advice that really helped. I liked that she doesn't promise miracles, but speaks honestly and to the point. She also works with love issues and negativity removal. Overall, I had a very good experience. Contact: Daria - +16463779379 (WhatsApp).

Oh my God, who haven't I called here!? How much money has been wasted!? But the only one who helped is here. I repeat, only one helped. I had a ritual with her for love for a man. It worked 100%. She did harmonization and application with a man and pushed away a rival. She looked into my past and said such things that my hair stood on end. I recommend her!!! +380638055486 +19297133433
 

Clairvoyant in New York

I want to share my experience with clairvoyant Rufina. I read a lot of good things about her on forums, so I decided to contact her. I didn't regret it! The Viber reading was so accurate that I was shocked. She not only predicted important events but also immediately gave recommendations on how to improve my current situation. I was especially impressed by her approach to rituals. Rufina conducts them with great soul and faith. She truly visits sacred places, and it's clear that she performs each ritual with love and respect for her work. My problems began to disappear, and I felt my life improving. From now on, I will always turn only to Rufina when I need help. I recommend her to anyone looking for real support and help in difficult situations! Here is her number: +380686790785 WhatsApp/Viber
 

Lily turned out to be an incredibly sensitive person.

I was skeptical about all such specialists, but the situation in my family was so difficult that I decided to give it a try. Lilia turned out to be an incredibly empathetic person. She accurately described what was happening between us and gave advice that really worked. Within a month, I saw real changes: fewer conflicts, more conversation and respect. We began to restore our relationship step by step. Thank her for her help and understanding. I'm writing her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
