INVESTMENT FRAUD

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?

Without Lilia nothing would have happened

When a loved one leaves, it seems like the world is collapsing. My husband simply left, saying that he "fell out of love." I turned to Lilia, she ran a diagnostic and said that there was discord between us, caused by the intervention of another woman. Everything matched. Lilia helped to remove this negativity, performed a ritual to restore the relationship. A month later, my husband returned. We are now going to a family psychologist, but without Lilia, nothing would have worked out. Thank you!

Echo of Babi Yar

Echo of Babi Yar
Thousands of kilometers from Kyiv, in Brooklyn, in a square in Brighton, people gathered not for a formal ceremony; those who are not indifferent to the tragedies of the past and present came, who understand that memory is not only grief, but also responsibility, and perhaps even advice for action.

Thank you, Lilia. You saved my family.

When my husband left, I thought my life was over. The pain was so bad it was hard to breathe. A friend brought me to Lilia. She spoke to me so gently and carefully, helping me calm my soul and see my mistakes and my husband's pain, too. It wasn't instant magic—it was a profound understanding. And you know... he came back. Himself. With warmth, with conversation, with a desire to make things right. Thank you, Lilia. You saved my family. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
 

Lily is a magic that I didn't believe in, but she brought back the love of my life!

I never thought I'd find myself in this situation. My heart was broken, and life felt meaningless. The man I loved had left, and I was ready to give up. It felt like everything was over. He became cold and distant, and I was losing myself, losing hope. At that moment, when I no longer knew how to fight, someone advised me to turn to Lilia. She was my last hope, and I didn't know what to expect. But from the first moment I spoke with her, I realized she wasn't just a clairvoyant, but a true woman with a powerful gift, capable of working miracles. Lilia was able to see all the hidden reasons that were destroying our relationship. She didn't just describe the situation, but also showed me how I could reconnect with my man, regain his love and trust. She said that love could be restored, but only if I changed myself and my inner energy. I followed her every piece of advice, even when doubts overcame me. But Lilia was so sure that I couldn't help but believe her. With her help, I understood how important it is not to lose yourself in a relationship, how to learn to let go of the past and not be afraid to open up again. And now, a few weeks later, the very man I had almost buried in my heart returned! He came as if nothing had happened and fell in love with me again. I will never forget the moment when he said: "I missed you. You have become different, and I want to be with you too." Lilia is not just a clairvoyant, she is a sorceress who brought me back to life. She was able to see the light in my torn heart and guide me to happiness. I am endlessly grateful to her! If you are looking for answers, faith and real magic, you need to turn to her. I can no longer imagine my life without her. She brought back not only my man, but also my happiness! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
 

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.
