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 came to Lilya, I was completely broken. My husband had left home almost a month ago, and I had already stopped believing that anything could change. Lilya didn't judge or pressure me—she simply listened to me so attentively that for the first time in a long time, I stopped crying. She said that everything could still be fixed if I could regain peace in my heart. A few days after our conversation, my husband himself wrote to me and asked to meet. We talked until the morning, and he admitted that all this time he had felt a strange desire to come back, "as if someone had helped him see everything differently." Now we are back together, learning to cherish each other. Lilya gave me hope—and I feel alive again. Her phone number is +380638055486, she has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
The price of politics and a test of strength Politics isn't just about grandiose statements, campaign promises, and pretty photos. True politics begins when you have to make difficult decisions, take responsibility, and weather the storms of fate. Marina Lagunova Paid for by ABK for Assembly.
Thank you, Varya, for your support, wisdom, and kind heart. For me, you became the person who helped bring back not only my loved one, but my life itself.
Sometimes life breaks us so deeply that it seems impossible to pick ourselves up again. That's exactly what happened to me. After breaking up with the man I loved, I stopped recognizing myself. The days dragged on endlessly, the nights were spent in tears, and my heart was torn apart by pain and loneliness. I lost not only love, but also the meaning of life. At that moment, when all hope was lost, fate brought me together with Varya, a molfarka. I came to her completely broken, with dull eyes and a devastated soul. I thought no one could help. But Varya saw in me something even I couldn't see—a spark of life that hadn't yet completely died out. After talking to her, something inside me seemed to come alive. Gradually, despair faded, and faith in the best appeared. And then something happened that I was afraid to even dream of. The man I loved with all my heart returned to my life. The one I cried for every night. The one without whom I couldn't imagine my future. When I heard his voice again, when I saw his eyes, I couldn't hold back my tears. These were tears of happiness. At that moment, I realized I had been given a second chance. A second chance to love, be loved, and live life to the fullest. Today, I see the world with completely different eyes. Laughter echoes in my home again, love lives in my heart, and I see light and hope ahead. And for these changes, I am infinitely grateful to Varya. She helped me not drown in despair and believe that even after the darkest night, dawn surely comes. Thank you, Varya, for your support, wisdom, and kind heart. For me, you became the person who helped bring back not only my loved one, but also my life itself. Tel. +380632574828 Viber/WhatsApp
