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.

Brighton Fair: A celebration of colour, encounters and memories
Brighton Fair: A celebration of colour, encounters and memories On the last Sunday of August, many people were looking forward to the traditional Brighton Fair, which has been organised for many years by the Brighton Residents Association, headed by Pat Singer. But this year the festival took place a week earlier – on 24 August. Marina Lagunova
I'll be honest—I didn't believe in clairvoyants. But when 20 years of marriage are crumbling before your eyes, you cling to any hope. Lilia helped me understand that we were being negatively impacted by energy, and she cleansed and protected me. Within a week, our relationship had softened, and a month later, my husband himself suggested we go on vacation together. Now we have a family again, warmth, and understanding. My deepest respects to her! I'm writing her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
The help of the magician Alexander proved invaluable to me. One day, without realizing it, I encountered a serious problem. I spotted a scrap of fabric or woven knitting thread on my doorstep, resembling a crocheted doll. I didn't pay it much attention. Without looking closely, I instinctively kicked it and tossed it aside. Now I realize it was completely thoughtless. But nevertheless. Soon after, inexplicable and extremely unpleasant events began to occur in my life. In various areas. From minor everyday problems to serious difficulties at work and a general decline in health. I'd lose my keys, my car would stall at the most inopportune moment, and then a whole series of escalating misfortunes followed. And then there was constant fatigue and apathy. It was clear something was wrong, but what exactly wasn't obvious. Attempts to find a logical explanation for what was happening or to solve the problems using traditional methods were fruitless. Neither doctors nor psychologists had any significant impact on the situation. So, I didn't think twice when I came across Alexander's contact information. He was recommended to me as a clairvoyant with abilities—he'd gotten a friend's wife back quickly. So, I messaged Alexander on WhatsApp and arranged a consultation. During our conversation, he described with astonishing accuracy the incident with the lining on my doorstep that I'd kicked. I'd never told anyone about it and had completely forgotten about it. The puzzle fell into place instantly. The diagnosis of the curse was undeniable. So, I literally begged Alexander to take me on and cleanse me of this evil. Alexander agreed and said I'd need to perform several rituals and, as I recall, energy cleansings. Day after day, I literally felt this weight lift, this black cloud that had been hanging over me. Life began to improve. And surprisingly, it didn't just return to normal; it became much easier. I've started feeling more empowered and energized more often, things are going well at work, and my relationships with loved ones have improved. I'm incredibly grateful to Alexander. He saved me and gave me my life back. Don't hesitate to contact him if you need advice or help. Alexander's number is +380971792179.

The husband left for another woman, and Lilia brought him back home
I never thought I would turn to a clairvoyant, but when my husband left the family for another woman, the ground fell out from under my feet. We had been together for almost 10 years, two children, a house, a life... And he just left. A friend recommended Lilia - she said that she really helps. I did not believe her, but desperation made me try. Lilia immediately told me from the photo that my husband had a strong energetic influence from the outside - the woman did the binding. She said that she would cleanse and perform a ritual to restore the relationship. A week later, he began to call, ask about the children, then came home "to pick up things", but stayed to talk. After 3 weeks, he returned completely. Now he himself says that it is as if he "saw the light". We are a family again. I am still in shock, to be honest... Thanks to Lilia. I wouldn't have managed without her. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication
