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.

I contacted Lilya because my boyfriend suddenly cooled off, even though it was serious. Lilya immediately said that "love's path is closed" to us and advised performing a ritual to restore the connection. I agreed. A couple of weeks later, he came back and admitted he couldn't stop thinking about me. We're back together and planning our wedding. Thank you, Lilya, for the happiness! Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
Lilya is a miracle. My husband has grown cold, withdrawn, and become a stranger. He hasn't physically left, but there's a wall between us. I tried talking, begging, pleading—all to no avail. Lilya said there was an energy drain and outside interference. After the cleansing and working on us as a couple, for the first time in six months, I saw him look at me differently. He started caring and being interested in me like before. He recently said, "I don't know what came over me, but it's like I've woken up." This is all your fault, Lilya. I bow to you.

Clairvoyant Lily became a real miracle in my life!
I didn't believe it was possible... But clairvoyant Lilia became a true miracle in my life! After a difficult breakup with my husband, I was in despair. We hadn't spoken for months, and the house felt empty. After turning to Lilia, I received not just hope, but real help. Within a week, he started contacting me, and a month later, he returned home. Now everything is different for us – more understanding, love, and respect. Huge thanks to Lilia for her gift and care! I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for regular calls).

I cried. I humiliated myself. I held on to him like air. And he looked at me coldly and left for another... Lilya became my last hope. I didn't know if she would help - I just wrote at night, not expecting an answer. But she answered. And she said: "He will come back. Just trust him." Four days later he came. He sat on the floor by the door and cried like a child. He said: "You are my family. I can't live without you." I thought this couldn't happen. Lilya - you are not just a person. You are a miracle. You are an angel. Thank you for my happiness. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
