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 felt like my heart simply stopped beating from the pain when our relationship collapsed. I lay awake at night, replaying every mistake in my head and not believing I'd ever be able to smile again. That's when I turned to Lilia—and it became my salvation. She carefully gathered my shreds of hope and helped me believe that love can be rekindled with heart and warmth. Step by step, with her support, I found the strength to ask for forgiveness, understand him, and give us a chance. Today, we are close, and I will forever keep in my heart the gratitude to Lilia for pulling me out of the abyss of despair and giving me the chance for a new life next to my beloved.

Want to get your loved one back? An online love spell will gently restore harmony in your relationship.
Honestly, I went to Lilya in complete despair. My husband had left me for another woman, the children were suffering, and I didn't know what to do. A friend insisted, saying, "Try it; she sees right through everything." And so it turned out. Lilya immediately explained the reason and even named the woman he'd left me for! After she started working, everything started to change: my husband started texting, showing interest in the children, and then he asked to talk. Now we live together, as if we'd been given a second chance. I'm incredibly grateful! I'm giving her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber). +19297133433
I thank Lilia for her kindness, strength and ability to change lives.
I didn't believe that anyone could help us. My husband and I were on the verge of divorce, grievances had been accumulating for years. But after several meetings with Lilia, real miracles began. She didn't just listen - she deeply understood and showed where our problems were coming from. Thanks to her work with us and her incredible energy, it became easier to breathe in the house. The eternal negativity disappeared, irritation and mistrust went away. Now we are together, closer than ever. I thank Lilia for her kindness, strength and ability to change lives.
