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.

I didn't believe in all this before—fortune-telling, rites, rituals... Until I faced tragedy myself. My husband left for another woman, simply packed his things and left. My world collapsed. I cried at night, couldn't eat or sleep. A friend gave me Marfa's number. I called—and from the first minute I felt that I was in the presence of a person with a true gift. She told me everything as it happened and performed a ritual to bring back my beloved. Two weeks later, he came of his own accord! He asked for forgiveness, saying that something "fell from his eyes." Now we live in perfect harmony, and every day I thank fate for meeting Marfa. Thank you, my dear, you really help people!

I used to contact different people - some just said general phrases, some tried to get money, but only Emelie really helped. I am very grateful that I contacted her. She immediately saw my situation without unnecessary questions - she accurately described what was happening in my life, in relationships and even in my health. I was surprised how everything coincided. I did a cleansing from negativity, because, as it turned out, there was envy and an energy block - and I had felt this for a long time. After her work, it became easier, the feeling of heaviness and anxiety went away, my sleep improved. She also did a ritual for me to restore the relationship - and the person with whom we had been in a quarrel for more than three months got in touch himself. Everything went towards reconciliation. Now everything is stable and calm. Emelie receives remotely, I communicated with her via Viber: +38 050 014 77 07 Very kind, calm and strong. Does not scare, does not pressure, says everything honestly. Thank you very much, Emelie, for your help! I sincerely recommend you to anyone who is looking for a real specialist.
Feedback about a clairvoyant who changed my life. I thought for a long time whether to write this review. Not because I doubt it — on the contrary, the result exceeded all my expectations. It’s just very personal. But perhaps my words will help those who are now in the same state I once was. Our family was on the verge of collapse. Constant quarrels, misunderstandings, coldness and alienation... It seemed as if some invisible fog had settled in the house — sticky, heavy, making it difficult to breathe. My husband and I became strangers, the children felt tense, and I woke up every morning with a feeling of hopelessness. Nothing helped: neither conversations, nor advice from loved ones, nor psychologists. On the advice of a friend, I turned to clairvoyant Alexandra. At first I was skeptical — can anyone “remove negativity” and “save a family”? But at that moment I was ready to try everything. From the first minutes of communication, I felt incredible warmth. She didn't ask unnecessary questions... she spoke. And every word she said was spot on. As if she saw not only my life, but also my soul. She accurately described where the discord came from, who and what influences our family, what energetic traces remained in the house, and even mentioned people I had long forgotten, but who had once caused harm. The work was deep, sometimes difficult, but after each session I felt better. The house seemed to "breathe", it became lighter, calmer. My husband became softer, we began to talk, look at each other with warmth. Even the children began to get sick less often and laugh more often - I'm not kidding. The atmosphere changed completely. As if a black veil had been removed that had covered the sun for a long time. Now, looking back, I understand how important this decision was - to turn to Alexandra for help. Not to a psychologist, not to a friend, not to yourself in the mirror with tears in your eyes, but to a person who sees more, deeper, more subtly. Thank you Alexandra for preserving my family, my inner peace and faith in goodness. Sometimes miracles happen. You just need not to be afraid to believe in them! I will leave her number +38 (095) 662 16 39 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
I turned to Lilya at a time when my husband and I no longer had conversations, hugs, or plans. We simply lived side by side, like strangers. There were betrayals, tears, despair. I didn't know why I woke up in the morning. Lilya became a light for me. She didn't force anything, didn't make false promises. She simply said, "You can still change everything." After a few sessions, the situation began to change. I changed. My husband began to look at me differently. We began to build a home again, not tear it down. Thank you, Lilya. You came at the right time. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
