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 came to Lilya in a state of complete devastation. My husband had left, saying he'd "outgrown his family" and "needed something else." I cried every day, lost my appetite, and lost my purpose in life. Lilya listened, felt my pain, and immediately said, "This isn't the end. You've just drifted apart—in spirit. But that can be restored." At first, I didn't believe it. But she worked with me, gave me precise advice, performed an energy cleansing, and helped me get back to myself. Three weeks later, he contacted me himself. A month later, we were sitting at the same table and talking honestly for the first time in a long time. I sincerely believe that without Lilya, none of this would have worked out. Here are her contact details: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
You hold in your hands not just a text, but the key to the answers you've long sought. I am Lilia, a clairvoyant with a gift passed down to me through the female line. Since childhood, I have seen what is hidden from view and sensed what has not yet happened. Destiny, love, health, business, family plans, protection from negativity—I help where others shrug their shoulders. I bring loved ones back. Even when all seems lost, I restore connection, cleanse the couple's energy, remove external influences, and open the way to reunion. I help restore love, awaken feelings, and restore what seemed shattered. I don't just predict the future—I help change it. With the help of Tarot cards, energy practices, rituals, and clear inner vision, we find a way out of even the most difficult situations together. My consultations are not frightening predictions, but a path to awareness, clarity, and inner balance. Those who come to me are truly ready to hear the truth and change their lives. Everything you say will remain between us. I work only with pure energy, without black magic or manipulation. Only light, only truth. If you feel it's time to change something, write. I will help you hear your destiny. And if you feel pain and longing for your loved one, I will help you bring them back. Contacts +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433

Clairvoyant Daria helped make the right choice at an important moment
For a long time I couldn't decide what to do in an important life situation. I needed to make a serious decision, but I couldn't find the necessary confidence. Daria accurately predicted that in the coming days I would receive an offer that would change my life, and suggested how to act so as not to make a mistake. Everything happened just like that! I made the right decision and thanks to her I didn't miss the chance that was given to me. I am very grateful for her help! Daria's number: +16463779379.
Today we are a family. A real one. And this is her great merit.
We turned to Lilya when we had almost decided to break up. We lived close, but were like strangers - each in their own world of pain and grievances. From the very first conversation with Lilya, it became clear: she sees deeper than just words. She felt our pain, our fear, our fatigue. It became easier to breathe with her. It became possible to talk without shouting. She literally lifted the burden from us that we had been dragging for years. Lilya helped bring respect, understanding and warmth back to our home. Today we are a family. A real one. And this is her great merit. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
