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.

If you feel that you can’t do it anymore, that the family is falling apart, don’t give up, find your person.
Lilia showed that true love never gives up. Her strength of spirit and sincerity brought her husband home to his family and happiness. This is an inspiring story about how love is the most powerful medicine. Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
I thank Lilia for her help and support. It was a huge step toward bringing love and understanding back into our home.
When I turned to clairvoyant Lilia, my life was in turmoil. My husband and I had drifted apart so far that even normal conversations were difficult. I felt like I was losing what was most precious to me, but I didn't know where to start to fix it. Lilia immediately put me at ease—calm and attentive, she seemed to see what I couldn't understand. Her advice and explanations helped me understand my emotions and what was happening between us. Following her recommendations, a warm energy began to fill our home: it was as if we remembered why we chose each other. Our relationship became softer and calmer. We began discussing important things again, making time for each other, and caring about each other's feelings. The tension that had plagued us for months gradually disappeared. Now I feel much more confident and calm, and harmony reigns in our family once again. I thank Lilia for her help and support. This was a huge step toward bringing love and understanding back into our home. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin... I didn't believe in fortune tellers or clairvoyants for a long time, but I came to Lilia in complete despair. My relationship was completely ruined—my man left me for another woman, and I found out he really had been bewitched by a rival. I was broken, I thought it was the end. Lilia didn't promise "overnight miracles," but she said everything could be fixed. She removed the negativity from him, cleansed us both, set up powerful protection, and most importantly, brought back our feelings. Our relationship was restored right before our eyes, and now we're preparing for the wedding. It's strange to even say, but I'm actually getting married—something I've dreamed of for so many years. This isn't an advertisement, not a request—I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for real help, not just pretty words. She's one of the few who truly sees, knows, and does. Her contact phone number is +380638055486, there is Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433
Lilya is a person who knows how to restore not only loved ones, but also faith in oneself.
I was losing heart. I didn't believe I'd ever hear his keys in the lock. But Lilya asked me to at least try to trust him—and I did. Three days passed. THREE days, and I heard a knock on the door. He was standing there with a bouquet, tear-stained, and said, "I don't know why, but I kept thinking about you. I want to go home." We stood there, hugging like children, and I sobbed, not believing it was true. Lilya is a person who knows how to bring back not only loved ones, but also faith in yourself. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
Zakhar isn't just a magician, he's a man with a true gift. He brought me back not just my husband, but my entire world! I'm incredibly grateful for his help and kind heart. Zakhar's number is +380954248510 (Viber/WhatsApp).
I sat and stared into space. My world had collapsed in an instant. My husband, my support, my best friend, was simply gone. Without explanation, without goodbyes. He severed all ties and filed for divorce. I didn't understand what was happening. I went to fortune tellers, fortune tellers, even some witch, but it was all useless. Only empty promises and lost money. Hope faded with each passing day, until a friend advised me to contact Zakhar. I no longer believed in anything, but out of desperation, I decided to do it. And it was the best decision of my life! When I came to him, he didn't ask me anything. He just looked at me and started talking. He said things that only I knew! He saw my pain, saw the whole situation, as if he had lived through it himself and seen everything through my eyes. It was true clairvoyance. Zakhar agreed to help, and I prayed that it would work. I was happy to have found such a strong man, but I was still a little worried. And can you imagine? It wasn't even a couple of weeks before my Kolya started calling. At first timidly, then more often. He apologized, saying he didn't understand what had come over him. He came home! We were back together, and our family had only grown stronger. Zakhar isn't just a magician, he's a man with a true gift. He gave me back not just my husband, but my whole world! I am immensely grateful for his help and his kind heart. Zakhar's number is +380954248510 (Viber/WhatsApp).
He left. I was left alone. And only Lilia said: This is not the end.
Everyone said, "Let it go. Forget it." But my heart ached. When I came to Lilia, I was broken. She saw that there was still a connection between us. And she helped me restore it. I worked on myself. On my energy, on my state. Lilia led me step by step. After two months, he called. After three, he came back. Now we are together again, as if everything was all over again. Only stronger. I don’t know how you do it, Lilia. But you brought my love back. And that is priceless. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
