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.

Thank you, Lilia, for saving my family and for the faith that you restored to me!
Infidelity was like a knife in the back. I was broken. At first, I didn't believe anything could be fixed. But Lilia saw that there was still a true connection between my husband and me, one that hadn't died. She helped me not only understand why everything happened but also taught me how to rebuild trust. Thanks to her support and energy work, we got through this crisis. Now I see how my husband is trying, how we are getting closer again. Thank you, Lilia, for saving our family and for the faith you restored to me! Her Viber and WhatsApp numbers are (+380638055486) and her regular number is (+19297133433).

I didn't believe in magic or miracles...until I lost her.
I didn't believe in magic or miracles until I lost her. She just left. Without a fight, without words. And with her, my purpose went away. I lived in a fog. My heart was breaking with pain, and my mind kept saying, "It's too late..." But my soul was screaming, "Fight." Then I found Matrona on the internet. I wrote, almost without hope... But I really asked for help. She immediately felt my pain. She said, "Love is alive. She's just lost. We'll bring her back." After the ritual, silence... And then a knock on the door. It was her. In tears. Words: "I dreamed you were calling. Forgive me, I can't live without you. Matrona... you brought me back not just a woman—you brought me back my life. I thank you from the bottom of my heart." HER number: +380630228999, Viber/WhatsApp
