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 write with a trembling heart... I was at rock bottom. A year of pain, tears, and hopelessness. My family was falling apart, my husband left, and I was left alone with my pain and emptiness inside. I turned to Lilia when I no longer believed in anything. I said almost nothing, but she saw everything herself... my pain, my past, my fear. I just cried and realized: I was finally heard. Lilia helped very carefully and truly. She removed the negativity, put up protection, and light came into my life again. My husband returned, the house became quiet and calm, and in my soul... warmth. I am writing this for those who are now crying at night and thinking that there is no way out. Sometimes God sends people... and Lilia... is one of them. Tel. +380 93 266 5520 WhatsApp Tel. +1 929 713 34 33 (USA)
I contacted Maria for remote palm reading via WhatsApp, and her ability to read the lines on my palm even from a distance amazed me. She accurately described my life circumstances, my strengths and weaknesses, and gave me advice that helped me make important decisions. Maria has a real gift, and her help was invaluable. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for answers and is not afraid to try remote fortune telling. Contact: +18473130212 (Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram).
Ladies, I want to share my sorrow and joy. My husband left me after 15 years of marriage. He simply packed his things and went to another woman, as if he'd been replaced—cold, distant, and completely oblivious to the children. I tried many, but only Maria immediately told me: he had a love spell, and it was done very badly. She worked with me remotely via Viber. What I liked was that there was no nefariousness, only white magic and prayers. Everything was very calm and safe. After two weeks, my husband started calling, and a month later he came home, begging for forgiveness on his knees. Now everything is fine with us, like a second honeymoon. If your family is falling apart, don't wait, message her on Viber +1 847 313 02 12. Maria, thank you so much for saving my happiness!
Honest clairvoyant, strong gift. Works remotely and helps for real
I live in another city and only communicated with Maria through messenger. I was hesitant at first, but decided to give it a try. She did a diagnosis and said I was under the evil eye and had an energy breakdown. This explained a lot: fatigue, conflicts, the feeling that everything was going wrong. After the rituals, I felt as if a weight had been lifted from my soul. My sleep became calm, my headache went away, and my mood improved. Maria also did a reading for my future. Several of her predictions have already come true. I am completely amazed at how accurate everything is. Maria doesn't promise miracles; she simply does her work honestly and with passion.
