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.

Review of a clairvoyant – she helped me get my loved one back
I want to leave a review about a wonderful clairvoyant and tarot reader whom I turned to during a very difficult time. My relationship with my loved one was crumbling, and there was a lot of pain, hurt, and misunderstanding. I found this woman by chance, through a recommendation. She is very kind and attentive, and immediately understood my situation, as if she knew everything in advance. She did a tarot reading and then removed the negativity that, as it turned out, was interfering with our relationship. Two weeks later, my loved one contacted me, and we made up. Things are much better now! Here's her number: +1 (646) 377-9379 – I highly recommend her to anyone looking for real help, not just a "chat."
Lilya, thank you for saving my family, for hope, for life!
I didn't believe it until I saw a miracle with my own eyes. My husband and I were almost divorced; he kept saying, "It's all over." My soul was in pieces. Lilya greeted me with such warmth that I burst into tears at her doorstep. She saw everything: the rival, the grievances, and the fears. She said she would work with our energy. After the ritual, it was as if the sun returned to the house—my husband started calling, visiting, then staying... Now we're back together, he's caring, gentle, as if he's been replaced! Lilya, thank you for saving our family, for hope, for life! I'm giving her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber). +19297133433
