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.

If it weren't for Lilia, I would have lost my wife and children.
I don't really believe in psychics, but when things reached a dead end, I was willing to try anything. Lilia immediately said she saw the pain in our home. We worked on my inner state, my fears, and my resentments. She helped me change not only the situation, but also myself. My wife noticed the changes and began to trust me again. Now it's like we're living everything all over again, with love and respect. Thank you, Lilia, you're not just a clairvoyant—you save families.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to fortune teller Martha for helping me restore my family relationships.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the fortune teller Marfa for helping me restore my family relationship. My husband and I had been together for over 10 years, but recently we had been constantly fighting and misunderstanding. It seemed our feelings had faded and we were heading toward divorce. On a friend's advice, I turned to Marfa. I was skeptical at first, but after the first consultation, I felt she truly understood what was going on. Marfa conducted a diagnosis, explained the cause of our conflicts, and performed a reconciliation ritual. Literally a few days later, my husband began to show interest, and within a couple of weeks, we began talking calmly and warmly again. Now we have peace and mutual understanding again. I am grateful to Marfa for her sensitivity, kindness, and true gift for helping people. If you are in a difficult situation, don't be afraid to contact her; she really does help!
