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.

For a long time I was timid to see what I didn’t know anymore. She laughed in public and saw everything as good, if in the middle everything was screaming. I don’t feel anyone. Not bothering anyone, as I fall asleep with the phone by my hand, hoping for information. I’m throwing myself away and first, I’m looking for something, but there’s nothing. Not in calls, not in dreams, not in life. He just... knew. No explanation. Without drain. And most importantly, I don’t want to share this knowledge with anyone. What should I say? Why do I love someone who never said goodbye? I found out about Martha when I was already giving up. I wish I had thrown my name away. I didn't believe it. Already at night, if I had cut the merry again, I wrote. Just like that. Without refreshment. And she confirmed it. Calm down. M'yako. Exactly. You haven’t lost your mind, she said. You just love. It’s not worth it for you to die in this love. Give me three days. And I gave it. On the fourth day I woke up and in the notifications it was: Can I come? I need you to help me. Vin. The one who knows. The one I checked. Priyshov. And marveling at me like that, nothing happened. I don’t know what she earned. I don’t know what to do with her. But I know: there’s a charge over there. It's dark there. It's more painful there. Vaughn can smell it. And when you think it’s over, you just whisper: No. Whole cob.

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).

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).
