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.

September 11, 24 years later For over twenty years now, I have been spending this day with my friends, members of the 9-11 Families organization, whom I respect greatly. Marina Lagunova
Thank you to this woman from the bottom of my heart!
After 25 years of marriage, my husband simply left, saying his feelings had faded. I cried nights. On the advice of a friend, I found Lilia. She's very kind, calm, and immediately puts you at ease. She said the love wasn't gone, it was just masked by resentment and fatigue. She performed several rituals and gave recommendations. And a miracle: a month later, my husband returned, and now he's trying harder than ever. I thank this woman from the bottom of my heart! I'm giving her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber). +19297133433
When my husband left, I was completely confused. We had been together for 7 years, and suddenly - indifference, quarrels, coldness, and then - suitcases and silence. I tried everything: conversations, persuasion, psychologists ... Nothing helped. Lilia was my last hope. She immediately felt everything: she named his character, the reason for leaving, even small details that no one knew. We started working, she performed a ritual to restore communication and cleanse the relationship. A week later he wrote. Two weeks later - he came. Now we are together again, but it's like we're in love again. Lilia is not just a clairvoyant, she saves families. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

My husband left after 10 years of marriage. He simply packed his things and said it was over. I was in shock. My thoughts were the darkest. I looked for help and found Lilia. I cried during our first conversation; it was as if she looked into my soul. She told me that my husband and I had a strong connection, but someone had interfered. She performed rituals to restore our relationship, bringing back love and trust. Now we are together again. Thank you, Lilia. I am grateful every day for finding each other!
