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 thank Matrona for those who turned me into happiness, for her wisdom and light.
I haven’t had the courage to write this for a long time, because everything I’ve been through so far makes my heart hurt. Soon after I separated from my partner, I left my family, and a darker period of life began for me. Sleepless nights, tears, being empty at home, despair and hopelessness... I didn’t believe that I could turn him around and renew our family. When I returned to Matrona, this was my remaining peace, my remaining hope. She listened to me with such warmth and understanding, and she shared my love. From the first words, it became clear that I was not alone, that there was light at the end of this darkness. Matrona helped me walk this important path: she turned faith in myself, changed my soul and heart. I began to mark the signs that she indicated, and the man himself, having earned the first crumb before reconciliation. Those who seemed impossible, became - we turned home. Today we meet again. Our home is filled with joy, laughter and warmth. I thank Matrona for those who turned me into happiness, for her wisdom and light. Without her help, my family couldn’t get back together no. +380630228999 viber/whatsapp
