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?
• Check if the company is legit. Check if the company has a license to operate

• 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.

Only Galina helped – after 5 “magicians” and disappointments

I contacted many people—online, in person, paying through the nose. They were full of promises: "he'll be back in three days," "the curse will be removed"—and all in vain. I had a knot of intertwined problems: loneliness, financial setbacks, panic attacks. I simply spoke with Galina on WhatsApp—and felt she was the real deal. She didn't promise anything "tomorrow," she immediately said I needed to work. And she worked! Cleansings, castings, protection, rituals. Everything was meaningful, not just "template magic." And the results were there: my state of mind improved, my strength returned, my income improved. She gave me back my power. My destiny. Galina Vishnevskaya's contact information: +74957721881 or WhatsApp — +79687419383. Galina, thank you from the bottom of my heart. People like you are rare.
 

Lily turned out to be an incredibly sensitive person.

I was skeptical about all such specialists, but the situation in my family was so difficult that I decided to give it a try. Lilia turned out to be an incredibly empathetic person. She accurately described what was happening between us and gave advice that really worked. Within a month, I saw real changes: fewer conflicts, more conversation and respect. We began to restore our relationship step by step. Thank her for her help and understanding. I'm writing her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433

The name of this force is Varya the Molfarka. She brought back not only my husband, but my soul. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)

I wrote this through tears. When my husband left, it was as if my soul had been ripped out. The house was empty, the children were silent, and I lived on autopilot. No words, no prayers helped. And then I found Molfar Varya. She didn't ask unnecessary questions, just looked into my eyes and said, "He'll come back. But I need to cleanse my heart of pain." I didn't believe it. But two weeks later, he stood on the doorstep. With flowers. With tears. With an admission that he "didn't understand how he could leave like that." Since then, I know: there is a power beyond logic. And the name of this power is Molfar Varya. She brought back not only my husband, she gave me back my soul. HER number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
