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 I thought that my husband and I could no longer fix anything, I found Lilia in New York.
When I thought my husband and I couldn't fix things, I found Lilya in New York on Telegram. I didn't even know such incredible support and attention to every word existed! She helped not only bring my husband back, but also restore our love. Every piece of advice was thought out to the last detail. Lilya made our family whole and happy again. We are happy we found her! If you don't see the point now, if you cry at night and don't know how to live on—just read this. Just recently, I had a family, children, a loved one... And then everything fell apart. I became ill... in body and soul. I didn't sleep, I didn't eat, I just slowly faded away. And then he left. Quietly. Without explanation. All that remained was emptiness and silence. And the children, who looked at me and didn't understand why Mom was no longer smiling. I thought I wouldn't survive. But one day, I was given Lilya's contact information, and it helped. I called, almost in disbelief, simply out of hopelessness... And that was the beginning of my comeback. She didn't judge. She didn't promise miracles. She just helped. Slowly, piece by piece, I began to put myself back together. Strength returned. I began to sleep. The fear went away. Then something happened that I no longer believed in. He came back. He said it was as if he "saw the light." But even if he hadn't come back... I was already living again. I'm writing this for you, if you are now heartbroken and empty-eyed. Please - don't give up. Help is there. You are not alone. And you will definitely get up. I don't know how, but it works for Lily too. She truly has a gift, and I advise you from the bottom of my heart. This is a person from God. Contacts (+380638055486 WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for a regular call)
Sometimes fate presents us with trials when it seems all is lost... That's how it was for me. My husband left, and there was coldness, resentment, and unspoken feelings between us. I was beside myself, crying at night and praying to somehow bring back what was so dear to my heart. On the advice of a friend, I turned to Raisa, and now I understand it was a decision sent from above. Raisa greeted me like family: with warmth, attention, and a special light in her eyes. She felt my pain without words. She performed a ritual, telling me everything as if she had known us for years. Within a few days, I noticed changes: my husband began asking how I was doing, then he called and asked to meet... And then everything seemed to fall into place. Now we are together again, and I thank fate every day for bringing me to Raisa. Thanks to her, love, understanding, and tenderness have returned to our home. Raisa isn't just a fortune teller; she's like an angel who helps hearts find each other again. Dear Raisa, thank you for your gift, for your kind heart, and for bringing back my happiness. May your life be as full of light as you give to others! +380992927182 Viber
Thank you, Lilia, you gave me back not only my husband, but also my life.
If it weren't for Lilia, I probably would have simply broken down. My husband left me for a younger woman, saying I was "burned out." I was so hurt that I started to lose myself. I contacted Lilia through a friend. From the first conversation, she said his feelings hadn't gone away, he was just under someone else's influence. I didn't believe her, but I agreed to the job. And indeed, he started texting me within three days, and he came back a week later. Now we're back together. He says he's "woken up." I'm crying as I write this. Thank you, Lilia, you've given me back not only my husband, but my life. Contacts +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
