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?

Lily saved us

My husband and I were on the brink of divorce. Constant arguments, resentments, misunderstandings. He left for another woman, and I was left with our child. In a panic, I started looking for help, and fate brought me together with Lilia. She understood everything immediately, as if she had seen right through our lives. She performed rituals, cleansed our energy, and two weeks later, my husband himself came with flowers and said, "Forgive me, I understand everything." I simply couldn't believe my eyes! Lilia, you saved our family! Thank you for being there! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
 

Fortune telling with Nelya - everything came true, I couldn’t believe it!

Girls, if anyone is looking for an accurate tarot reader and clairvoyant, I can recommend Nelya! At first, I contacted her just out of curiosity, but I didn’t expect that she would predict so accurately. I had several questions: what would happen in my relationship with a man and with my career. She described absolutely everything - she said that there were “unresolved issues” in the relationship, and that I would have an important change at work. A month later, everything came true! My husband began to take the initiative, and they offered me a promotion at work. If you want accurate predictions and real changes, write down her number: +7 962 973 89 67 (WhatsApp/calls).
 

I'm grateful to Lilia not only for bringing my husband back, but also for helping me find confidence, strength, and inner peace. She's more than just a clairvoyant.

I contacted Lilia during a very difficult time in my life. My husband left our family—one day, he simply said he "stopped feeling" and packed his things. I couldn't believe that everything we'd built over the years was falling apart so easily. We didn't speak for almost a month, he ignored my messages, and then I found out he had someone else. On the advice of a close friend, I decided to contact Lilia. At first, I didn't know what to expect, but already during the first consultation, she told me things no one else knew—details of our relationship, my state, my inner fears. It was astounding. Lilia performed an energy cleansing, removing the negativity that, according to her, surrounded us, and performed a ritual to restore connection. She also gave me recommendations on how to behave, how to work on myself, and which words are important. Ten days later, my husband contacted me himself. At first, just a message. Then a meeting. And three weeks later, he came home. Now we are together, and I feel that he has truly rethought a lot. I'm grateful to Lilia not only for bringing my husband back, but also for helping me find confidence, strength, and inner peace. She's more than just a clairvoyant. She's a guide who works with the soul. I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
