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 love almost died, the clairvoyant Lily brought my beloved back to me

I hesitated for a long time to write this review because I still can't believe this happened to me. My loved one left suddenly—coldly, without explanation, as if nothing had ever happened between us. I was left alone with my pain and the questions "Why?" and "Why?" I turned to clairvoyant Lilia in complete despair. She calmly, without unnecessary words, told me about our situation as if she had known us for many years. She said that he had feelings, but he was confused. A little time passed—and then he showed up himself. At first cautiously, then with confessions and tears. Now we are together again. I am grateful to Lilia for helping me bring back my loved one and saving what seemed already destroyed. I will leave her contact information here for those who have already lost their hope (+380638055486 WhatsApp, Viber) (+19297133433 USA)
 

+380634300493 Bella Telegram. Thank you, dear, for everything you have done for me and my loved ones.

Hey guys, I want to tell you my story and thank the person who helped me and my family! Seven months ago, my husband suddenly started changing, beyond recognition. Friends and family were surprised what was happening to him. I started withdrawing from me, and the children began to irritate him! As a result, he left us and blocked me. I was in tears and started calling every magician and fortune teller I could get help. But everything was to no avail... Until I found Bella, a very nice girl and a very good magician. I had a diagnosis from her and was amazed by her words, everything she said was so spot on, describing people's names and situations. What I realized was that she would definitely help me. I did everything she told me, strictly according to her instructions. And within the time frame she said, she brought my husband back to the family, the same man he used to be. I am very amazed by her strength and professionalism, she is a real Person!!! +380634300493 Bella Telegram. Thank you, dear, for everything you have done for me and my loved ones.

I will buy old copper one-cent (ONE CENT) coins.

For a large art project, I'll buy old one-cent coins. At a 1:3 ratio (I pay 3 cents for one copper cent). At the bank, they'll change it 1:1. I need about 11,000-12,000 pieces. Only old copper cents. I'll pay in cash.
 

Lily is the only one who brought back my love and gave me hope!

I hesitated for a long time to leave this review because even now I find it hard to believe that all of this happened to me. I was at the brink of despair, and nothing seemed possible. My man of many years suddenly left. I tried to get him back, did everything I could, but my efforts only drove him further away. I felt like I was losing not only him, but myself as well. My heart was broken, and I didn't know how to move on. Just when I was about to give up and decided all my efforts were in vain, a friend recommended that I contact Lilia. At first, I didn't believe in such things, but something in her words resonated with me. I reached out for help, not knowing what to expect, but she didn't just surprise me—she saved my life. Lilia understood at first glance what was stopping me from getting my loved one back. She saw all my fears, insecurities, and blocks I hadn't even realized I had. She explained that sometimes, to bring back love, you need to start with yourself, you need to learn to let go and forgive, not only others, but yourself too. Lilia told me that anything was possible if I opened my heart and started moving forward. I followed her advice. I worked on myself, changed my thoughts and behavior. And then, a month later, when I was beginning to believe all was lost, he came back. It was a miracle I will never forget. He said, "I felt you changed, and now I want to be with you again." Those words were a real salvation for me. I don't know how she does it, but Lilia is more than just a clairvoyant; she's truly a magician. Thanks to her, I got my love back, but most importantly, I learned to love myself. She taught me to see my strength and confidence, and now I understand that happiness begins with me. I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life. If you've lost love or simply don't know what to do with your life, I sincerely recommend contacting Lilia. She knows exactly how to bring happiness and love back into your life! Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
