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.

A review of a clairvoyant who helped me bring back my loved one and remove negativity
I'd like to share my experience. A few months ago, my life was in complete chaos. I'd lost contact with my loved one, I was having problems at work, and I just felt like everything was going wrong. On a friend's recommendation, I consulted a clairvoyant and tarot reader, and it became a turning point in my life. She accurately predicted not only current events but also advised me on how to improve my relationship. The specialist lifted a lot of negativity from my mind and gave me several recommendations for improving my personal situation. A few weeks later, my ex returned to me, and our relationship became much stronger. Thank you for your help! Everything she said has come true. I recommend her to anyone who needs support and advice. Contact number: +16463779379.
My husband left me for a younger woman, leaving me with two children and a mortgage. I was at rock bottom. Lilya helped me pick myself up and taught me how to act when he showed up. After two months, he started helping, then asked to meet up, and now we're living together again. He says he's realized who he truly loves. "Lilya, you saved my family." Here are her contact details: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
Thank you to the clairvoyant Lilia for helping me get my husband back. Honestly, I was on edge, but Lilia didn't let me give up. Everything she did was kind and precise. After just a few sessions, my husband started to reach out to me. Now we're a family again. If anyone has any doubts, don't worry, she really does help. I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
