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.

Varya is a truly bright person, whom fate sent to me at the darkest moment of my life.
When my husband left me for another woman, my world collapsed. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I lived in a fog... Everything we'd built over the years was destroyed in an instant. I prayed, I cried, I asked fate for a sign—and apparently for good reason: fate led me to the molfarka Varya. From our first conversation, I felt extraordinary warmth and strength from her. Varya said that everything can be restored if the love is true, and she suggested performing rituals to cleanse the soul and restore the connection between me and my husband. I did everything as she said: I lit candles, read the words, filled my heart with faith and love. And a miracle happened. Just a few weeks later, my husband called. Then he came. We talked for a long time, both crying... He said he realized where his home is and that he wanted to start over. Now we are together, as if we've found a second wind in our relationship. I am infinitely grateful to the molfarka Varya! Thanks to her strength, wisdom, and kindness, my family is back together, laughter and love resonate in our home. Varya is a true lighthearted person, sent to me by fate at the darkest moment of my life. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)

After breaking up with my husband, I felt like everything was lost. My soul was hurting, I didn't know where to go. On advice, I turned to Lilya and that became a turning point. With her help, advice and rituals, my husband came back and our relationship became stronger. This is not just help, it's salvation. Thank you, Lilya!
