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.

Huge thanks to the fortune teller and healer Lilia!!!!
A huge thank you to the fortune teller and healer Lilia!!!! She has the gift of clairvoyance and helps with love affairs. My mother went to her and she saved her from a curse, so I decided to turn to her too, and it was a good decision. Firstly, she sees the past, the present, and your problem (my mother and I didn't tell her anything; she told us all the details). Secondly, she cleanses people and removes negativity. And she helped me overcome loneliness and brought my husband back to the family. I recommend her a hundred times over and will continue to recommend her to everyone here. I will leave her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433

Ladies, this might be helpful to someone. I debated for a long time whether to write or not, but I finally decided to share. I contacted her because of love—my boyfriend had left me, and I was desperate. She looked into the situation and said there was still room for improvement. She worked on restoring our relationship and removing negativity. After a while, we started communicating normally again. She also helped me with my health—after her work, I really felt better.

I knew he was special. We met at a friend's birthday party, and something sparked between us at first sight. We spent an amazing evening together. And then the night. He was attentive, gentle, real. And in the morning... he just left. Said he'd call. He didn't call. Stopped answering. Disappeared from social media. I cried. Laughed at myself. And then cried again. All my friends kept saying, "Forget it. It was a moment." But I knew it wasn't just like that. It couldn't be a mistake. I wrote to Lilia. Not really believing it. And she said, "Your destinies are tied. But he was tied by another. We'll free him." I did everything: prayers, rituals, and even stopped drinking coffee, as she said. Six days later, he wrote, "I'm sorry. I don't know what happened to me. I was thinking about you all this time." Now we're together. He carries me in his arms. He says he felt like someone was holding him on a chain. Lily, I believe that you are a messenger from above. You brought back my love. You gave me a chance for happiness.

I thank Lilia for her kindness, strength and ability to change lives.
I didn't believe that anyone could help us. My husband and I were on the verge of divorce, grievances had been accumulating for years. But after several meetings with Lilia, real miracles began. She didn't just listen - she deeply understood and showed where our problems were coming from. Thanks to her work with us and her incredible energy, it became easier to breathe in the house. The eternal negativity disappeared, irritation and mistrust went away. Now we are together, closer than ever. I thank Lilia for her kindness, strength and ability to change lives.
