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 think Lilia is just guessing, you're wrong. It's much deeper. It's as if she takes my hand and leads me through the fog of pain, anger, and resentment. I lost touch with my wife. We were like neighbors. Constant reproaches, silence. I was already thinking about leaving. But someone recommended Lilia to me. She helped me listen to my wife and understand that we still have a chance. We both changed after working with her. Now we have plans together again, even the romance has returned. I didn't expect it. And I'm grateful. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
After a difficult breakup, I contacted Lilia +19297133433
After a difficult breakup, I turned to Lilia. She not only listened to me but also suggested several of her rituals, which she says help harmonize relationships. I followed everything she suggested, and gradually our conversations with my husband became calmer and warmer. Now we're back together, and I feel that the combination of her support and those rituals helped me believe in myself and restore my family. Her phone number is +380638055486, she also has Viber and WhatsApp, and she also has a US number: +19297133433.
Honestly, I came to Lilia on the brink, when everything was falling apart. My husband had cooled off, there were constant fights at home, and it got to the point where he declared, "I want a divorce," and left. I didn't understand what was happening, but it turned out I was under a negative magical influence from someone close to me. Lilia immediately recognized it and removed all the negativity from me. After her work, my husband came home and became warm again. We talk normally, as if another person was there. I feel lighter, as if I've started living again. Her contact information: WhatsApp +380 93 266 5520, USA +19297133433

Ladies, this might be helpful to someone. I debated for a long time whether to write or not, but I finally decided to share. I contacted her because of love—my boyfriend had left me, and I was desperate. She looked into the situation and said there was still room for improvement. She worked on restoring our relationship and removing negativity. After a while, we started communicating normally again. She also helped me with my health—after her work, I really felt better.
