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.

Everything worked out thanks to Marfa. I'll leave her number: +38093-115-02-60 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
I came to Marfa when I was almost at the point of giving up... my husband had filed for divorce, our conversations were limited to arguments, and a cold silence reigned in the house. As soon as I walked in, Marfa immediately started talking. She sees everything and tells it as if she's been observing our life from the outside: the grievances, the unspoken things, and my pain that kept me awake at night. Marfa said the connection between us could still be restored and performed several rituals for reconciliation and mutual understanding. I don't know what exactly worked... the wise words, the support, or the atmosphere itself, but something seemed to shift inside. After these meetings, the house became calmer, and my husband unexpectedly opened up to dialogue. We were able to talk for real, without yelling and accusations. He stopped the divorce, and gradually everything began to return to normal. Now it's like we're on a second honeymoon... we're laughing again, making plans, and feeling as close as we did at the beginning. Everything has gotten better thanks to Marfa. I'll leave her number +38093-115-02-60 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
When I came to Lilya, I was completely broken. My husband had left home almost a month ago, and I had already stopped believing that anything could change. Lilya didn't judge or pressure me—she simply listened to me so attentively that for the first time in a long time, I stopped crying. She said that everything could still be fixed if I could regain peace in my heart. A few days after our conversation, my husband himself wrote to me and asked to meet. We talked until the morning, and he admitted that all this time he had felt a strange desire to come back, "as if someone had helped him see everything differently." Now we are back together, learning to cherish each other. Lilya gave me hope—and I feel alive again. Her phone number is +380638055486, she has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
After Lilia's rituals, the air in the house seemed to change.
After Lilia's rituals, the air in the house seemed to change. Even the walls seemed to stop pressing in. And the most incredible thing was that my husband returned without any fuss, without any demands; he simply quietly entered the house and said, "I realized that this is my home." It was like a scene from a movie, the kind you dream of experiencing in reality. And it happened. Thanks to Lilia. Her phone number is +380638055486, she also has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
