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 am extremely grateful to Matrona for her support, participation and help when my faith in happiness had almost faded.
I never thought I'd find myself in this situation. The man I loved more than life itself became a stranger. He was increasingly late, avoided conversation, and then left me for another woman. It was a real blow. I stopped sleeping, eating, and enjoying life. It seemed like happiness was lost forever. In utter despair, I turned to the clairvoyant Matrona. To be honest, I had my doubts at first, but after the first conversation, I felt like I was talking to someone who truly saw much more than others. Matrona described my situation very accurately and told me what was happening in my relationship. After her help, things began to unfold in a surprising way. The man, who hadn't even wanted to talk to me for months, began seeking out contact himself. Gradually, the influence of the other woman faded, and conflicts and misunderstandings ceased. After some time, he returned home. Now we are back together and making plans for the future. After everything I've been through, I especially appreciate every day with the man I love. I am extremely grateful to Matrona for her support, participation, and help when my faith in happiness had almost faded. Her number is +380630228999 Viber/WhatsApp
New York Governor's Proposed Budget Given the confusing press coverage, I felt it was my duty to travel to Manhattan early this morning for the presentation to hear for myself what Governor Kathy Hochul was proposing. Marina Lagunova
My world turned upside down when my husband left me for another woman. For his mistress. It seemed there was no way out of the utter darkness I found myself in. My friends advised me to accept it, but my heart refused to believe that this was the end... I searched for any opportunity, any hope. And that's how I found Zakhar. I didn't believe in fortune tellers or magicians, but fate itself showed me that things weren't so simple. When Zakhar spoke, I was shocked. He didn't ask anything, but he told me everything! Every detail of our relationship with my husband, the reason for his departure, even the name of the woman! It was incredible. He said he could help, and I grasped at that straw. The following weeks were filled with mixed feelings. Hope, anxiety, anticipation. And then it happened. My husband called. We met, and I saw longing and remorse in his eyes. He said he had made a mistake, that he realized how much he loved me. A short time later, he came back. I still can't fully comprehend what happened. But one thing I know for sure: Zakhar isn't just a magician, but a practitioner who can do the impossible. He brought back not only my loved one, but also my meaning in life. If your heart is broken, don't despair. Contact Zakhar. He truly does work miracles. Zakhar's number is +380954248510 (Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram).
I can’t express in words how grateful I am to Varya for her help, for her kind heart and incredible gift.
I found Varya, a molfarka, on Google when I simply didn't know where to look for help. My husband left me for his mistress, and I couldn't sleep at night, crying, unable to eat or live normally. It felt like my heart was breaking, and nothing could be fixed. When I first turned to Varya, I couldn't even really express anything; the words wouldn't come. But I didn't need to. Varya saw everything herself and told me everything, as if she'd lived through those days of pain with me. Her words immediately gave me hope and strength. She performed a ritual, explained how to behave, and supported me the whole time. A few days later, I felt something had changed, and then my husband called himself... He said he missed me, that he wanted everything back. Now he's home, and our house is warm, calm, and loving again. I can't express in words how grateful I am to Varya for her help, for her kind heart, and her incredible gift. Thanks to her, I smile again and believe in miracles. HER number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
I want to share my experience, in case anyone else is going through the same struggle I was. I turned to Daria during a period of depression, constant tears, and the thought that nothing good was in store. She listened attentively, read my fortune, and explained everything in simple terms. She immediately explained what the problem was and where it was coming from. Then she worked on removing negativity and protecting myself. After that, I felt much better, gained energy, and the desire to live and move on. I still sometimes turn to her for advice. Phone: +16463779379 or +38 0996826298
