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?

Thank you, Matrona, for saving our family and giving us a new happy life!

I still can't hold back my tears when I recall the despair I felt before meeting the clairvoyant Matrona. My family was crumbling before my eyes: my husband had left, and there were constant arguments, pain, resentment, and a feeling of utter hopelessness at home. It seemed as if happiness had left our home forever. When I was advised to turn to Matrona, I had almost lost hope. But she became the last ray of light in a dark tunnel. From the very first words, Matrona saw the entire situation as if she had lived it with me. She told me about what was happening in our family, the reasons for the discord, and the negativity that had surrounded us for many years. After her help, true miracles began to happen in our lives. My husband took a step forward, returned to the family, and gradually love, trust, and mutual understanding returned between us. The constant conflicts disappeared, and the heaviness that seemed to weigh on us every day disappeared. The house was filled with warmth, peace, and happiness. Today we live harmoniously, make plans for the future, and thank fate every day for meeting Matrona. She didn't just help me get my husband back; she gave me back my family, my faith in happiness, and my desire to live on. My deepest respects and endless gratitude to this amazing person with a big heart. If you're currently on the brink of despair, as I once was, know that there is hope. Thank you, Matrona, for saving my family and giving me a new, happy life! I'll share her number: +380630228999 (Viber/WhatsApp).
 

I couldn't have done it without Lily. She brought back my love and family.

I don't know how to explain it. Everything inside me collapsed when my husband said he needed "some space." I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I just walked around the house and listened to the silence. On a friend's advice, I turned to Lily. And the way she spoke... it was as if she saw not only my pain but also what could happen next. She asked me to follow her recommendations for a few days—just calm down, take care of myself, stop living in fear. A week later, my husband unexpectedly arrived. He said, "I felt like I was making a mistake." I still don't understand how it all happened. But one thing is for sure: I couldn't have done it without Lily. She brought my love and family back. I'll leave my contact information for anyone who really needs help (+380638055486 for WhatsApp and Viber, +19297133433 for a regular call).
