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 hesitated for a long time to write this review because I still can't hold back my tears when I think about the time I went through. My husband left for another woman, leaving me alone with the children. In one moment, everything collapsed: my family, my plans, my faith in the future. Every day was like torture. I didn't know how to explain to my children why their dad was no longer with me, or how to survive this pain myself. In despair, I turned to many people who promised help, but to no avail. Only Marfa turned out to be someone who truly understood my situation and was able to help. From the very first words, I felt that she understood what was happening in my life, without me having to explain it. Marfa didn't make empty promises. She supported me in the most difficult moment and instilled hope when I had almost lost faith. And most importantly, the results were immediate. In a short time, something I had never dared to dream of happened: my husband returned to our family. I returned consciously, with a desire to restore our relationship and be there for our children. Today, our family is together again. Of course, we had to endure a lot and make amends, but most importantly... we were given the chance to start anew. For this, I will be grateful to Marfa for the rest of my life. Marfa is one of the few who truly sees, understands, and helps people. If you find yourself in a difficult life situation and have already lost hope, I wholeheartedly recommend contacting her +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp
