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 still can't hold back my tears when I remember the despair in which I came to Svetlana. My husband left me for another woman. It all happened so quickly... one day he was there, and the next he said there was no more love. I couldn't breathe from the pain, I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I simply existed. One question lingered in my head: why? I was advised to contact the clairvoyant Svetlana—a woman with a gift who helps through wax. I didn't know what to expect, but I decided I had nothing to lose. From the first minutes of my conversation, I felt that this was not just a person, but a true clairvoyant. She listened attentively to me, looked at the situation through a wax casting... and what she saw struck me deeply. Svetlana said that a shadow had passed between my husband and me... the evil eye, interference, someone else's energy. Everything she described matched every detail, even things I hadn't told anyone. Svetlana began working with me through wax, prayers, and energy cleansing. I remember trembling as she poured hot wax into water, and how everything manifested in these strange shapes: pain, resentment, betrayal, even that woman's face. It was like magic and truth all at once. Only a couple of weeks passed, and my husband started contacting me. Cautiously at first, then it was as if he broke through. He asked for forgiveness, saying it was as if he'd woken up. He'd come home. Now he looks at me with the same warmth he did all those years ago. We've become closer than we were before that nightmare. Svetlana didn't just give me my husband back—she gave me herself back, our love, our family. Svetlana isn't just a sorceress, she's a savior. I don't know how to thank her for what she's done. If you're on edge right now, if the pain is tearing your soul apart, don't wait. Turn to her. This person works real miracles. Her number is +380965449305 Viber/WhatsApp
I want to leave my review because I once searched for information on forums and was hesitant about whether to seek her out. I turned to Daria when I was going through a difficult time in my life—problems in love, constant worry, and a loss of energy. We communicated via WhatsApp, and she gave me a reading, detailing my past and present very accurately, and a lot of it matched. Then she told me there was something negative that was preventing me from living a normal life and building relationships. She worked with me and gave me recommendations. Afterward, I really felt better—both mentally and physically. My relationship also improved. I am very grateful to her for her help and support. She is a good, honest person.

Thank you, Lilia, for hope, for strength, for love, which is with me again!
I turned to Lilya at a difficult moment - the separation from my husband hit me hard. Lilya helped me get him back and restore our relationship. I am very grateful for her professionalism and sincere support. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433
We lived together for 12 years. Home, kids, memories… And then he said, “I don’t love you anymore.” He just packed his suitcase and left. I couldn’t breathe. I cried at night. I hid from the kids. And then they sent me Lily’s profile. I just wrote, “He left, help me…” Lily said, “Give me time. You’ll still walk hand in hand with him.” And I don’t know what she did… but a week later he was kneeling in front of me. He said, “I’ve gone crazy, forgive me. I love you.” Lily, you changed my destiny. I’m a wife again. I’m happy again. Her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
If you think Lilia is just guessing, you're wrong. It's much deeper. It's as if she takes my hand and leads me through the fog of pain, anger, and resentment. I lost touch with my wife. We were like neighbors. Constant reproaches, silence. I was already thinking about leaving. But someone recommended Lilia to me. She helped me listen to my wife and understand that we still have a chance. We both changed after working with her. Now we have plans together again, even the romance has returned. I didn't expect it. And I'm grateful. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
