INVESTMENT FRAUD

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

• 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 feel loved again.

My husband and I were together for 10 years, but things went downhill. I tried everything—talking, pausing, silence, tears. Lilia helped me look at the situation differently, work on myself, and not just wait. My husband came back because he saw that I had changed. I feel loved again. Overall, I highly recommend Lilia... +380638055486 +19297133433
 

Clairvoyant New York Review

Ladies, this might be helpful to someone. I debated for a long time whether to write or not, but I finally decided to share. I contacted her because of love—my boyfriend had left me, and I was desperate. She looked into the situation and said there was still room for improvement. She worked on restoring our relationship and removing negativity. After a while, we started communicating normally again. She also helped me with my health—after her work, I really felt better.

Lilya, I will never tire of repeating - you saved not just a marriage, you saved my soul.

When I wrote to Lilya, my hands were shaking—I didn't trust anyone anymore. My husband filed for divorce, saying he'd fallen out of love. And I was simply dying inside... Lilya calmly, with such wisdom, explained that love hadn't gone, we'd just been "confused." I did a cleansing, put up protection, and said, "Wait for signs." On the third day, he wrote himself! A week later, he came with flowers, cried, and asked for forgiveness. Now we're back together, like newlyweds. Lilya, I won't tire of repeating it—you didn't just save a marriage, you saved my soul.

A Horrible Four Years in Ukraine
On February 24, rallies took place in various cities and countries. On a cold winter evening, with snow still lingering and the streets treacherous with ice, concerned people gathered in Brighton Beach on this sad and tragic anniversary to express solidarity and hope for long-awaited peace.
