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.

When Lilia performed the ritual, tears flowed from my eyes, but not from pain, but from hope that, for the first time in a long time, ignited inside me.

As Lilia performed the ritual, tears flowed from my eyes, but not from pain—from the hope that ignited within me for the first time in a long time. A few days later, my husband admitted that he felt me as if he could hear my heart from a distance. He said he realized that we were still one. I don't know how to describe it other than as a miracle that Lilia helped create. Her phone number is +380638055486, she has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.

Politics isn't just about grandiose statements, campaign promises, and pretty photos. True politics begins when you have to make difficult decisions, take responsibility, and weather the storms of fate.

Clairvoyant New York

Hey girls, I decided to write because I used to spend all night reading forums and looking for real reviews. I turned to Anastasia when everything in my life was going wrong—constant arguments, anxiety, a feeling like I was jinxed. She did a diagnosis, looked at my cards, and immediately told me things I'd never told anyone. She said there was negativity. After the cleansing, I really felt better—the heaviness went away, I felt calmer, and even my sleep improved. She works very carefully, without any intimidation or "I urgently need another ritual." She explains everything calmly. I'm leaving my contact information in case anyone needs it: 8906 6204170 (Max WhatsApp Telegram) Instagram: www.instagram.com/gadanie_anastia_3388
