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.

He left as if I never existed...

I can't forget that evening. He came with a cold face, didn't even look up: "Dasha, I don't want to be with you anymore. I've decided everything." 3 years together. We talked about children, about a house outside the city, about the future. I thought we were "the ones". But he packed his things and left. And didn't look back. I lay on the floor and howled. It seemed to me that I had died, only my body remained. Everything inside burned. A week later, I found out that he was with another. And then I simply stopped being myself. Nothing helped. Neither conversations nor advice. Everyone said: "Forget, let go." But how can you forget someone you feel with every cell? I came across Lilia by chance. Or was it fate... She looked at my photo and said: "He didn't just leave. He's lost his way. But if you want, I'll help you bring him back." It was scary. But I agreed. Because there was nothing left to lose. We performed 3 rituals. We prayed. I followed every detail. I was afraid of making a mistake. And then one day he wrote. At first simply: "How are you?" Then: "I dream of you every night." And then he came. He stood on the threshold, as if lost: "I don't understand what happened. As if I woke up. Bring me back." And I did. With Lilia's help. We are together again. He doesn't let go of my hand for a second. He says that he won't make such a mistake a second time. Lilia, you are not just a clairvoyant. You saved my soul. Thank you for everything.

Thank you, Lilia, from the bottom of my heart.

When I came to Lilia, I felt so much pain and confusion inside... It felt like I'd lost someone who was part of my soul. Lilia didn't just listen—she felt me. Her words were so soft, as if she were hugging me from a distance. After our meeting, I was able to breathe calmly for the first time in a long time. And the most amazing thing is that our relationship began to heal on its own. Thank you, Lilia, from the bottom of my heart.

Molfar Andriy is amazing at creating.

Molfar Andriy is amazing at creating. Chula from other people's words, but I myself confirmed it with someone. It is really great happiness that such people with guilt like Andriy exist. I will ruin my homeland if the person is at home. I know a lot of people at home and in other situations. You can solve people’s problems in the same way that they were caused, in a way that you can help in any way. It doesn’t matter to verify it. Write to me on WhatsApp at +380932169225 and ask for a consultation. And you will be happy.
