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 turned to Marfa when I no longer knew where to turn. My husband had left me for another woman, and there was emptiness and pain at home. But the most amazing thing was that Marfa didn't even let me explain anything. She immediately said, "I see my rival standing next to me, I see how your path is blocked..." I got goosebumps because everything was exactly as she described! She explained exactly what happened, why he changed, and what I needed to do to get it all back. She didn't ask any questions; she saw everything herself, as if she were reading my soul. After the ritual, he wrote to me just a few days later. Now we're back together, and I thank Marfa every day for helping me bring love and warmth back into our home. She truly sees everything and helps from the heart. I'll leave her number: +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
Feedback about clairvoyant Lily: she brought my wife back!
After a difficult breakup with my wife, it seemed that everything was lost. Talking, trying to fix everything, nothing helped. My soul ached, and my heart refused to accept it. In despair, I decided to turn to the clairvoyant Lilya and this was the best decision in my life. From the first minutes of communicating with her, I felt warmth, understanding and real strength. She not only saw the essence of our problem, but also helped me step by step to restore the broken connection. Lilya did not promise a magic wand, but gave what really works - energy, knowledge and rituals that brought back my beloved wife. Now we are together again, and our union has become even stronger. I am grateful to fate for bringing me to Lilya. If you have lost hope, do not be afraid to contact her. This is not just help, this is a real miracle. Thank you, Lilya, with all my heart!
