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 turned to clairvoyant Lilia at a time when it seemed like our relationship was finally falling apart. There was too much unspoken communication, resentment, and silence in the house. I didn't know how to restore the warmth that once existed between us. Lilia helped me look at the situation differently—understand my feelings, listen to my partner, and stop fighting when gentleness was needed. After her consultation, I began to change my attitude, and it was as if the atmosphere in our family gradually began to change. We began talking more, listening more attentively, looking for compromises rather than reasons to argue. Today, I feel that love is returning to our home. We spend time together again, laugh, and make plans. I am grateful to Lilia for her support and advice, which helped me strengthen our relationship and restore harmony. Her phone number is +380638055486, she also has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
Lily turned out to be an incredibly sensitive person.
I was skeptical about all such specialists, but the situation in my family was so difficult that I decided to give it a try. Lilia turned out to be an incredibly empathetic person. She accurately described what was happening between us and gave advice that really worked. Within a month, I saw real changes: fewer conflicts, more conversation and respect. We began to restore our relationship step by step. Thank her for her help and understanding. I'm writing her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
We were getting ready for the wedding. The hall was booked, the dress was hanging on the closet, the rings were in the box. And a month before the big day, he said, "I'm not sure. I'm leaving." I thought it was a prank. Or stress. But no. He left. To his ex. I stood by the window with the wedding ring in my hand and didn't understand - how? Why? For what? Everyone said, "Then it's not yours." But I knew - it was mine. It was just as if he had lost himself. Lily became a light in the darkness for me. She said, "Your destiny was stolen. But until he gets married, everything can be returned." We performed a ritual for 7 nights. I read spells, cried, fell asleep with his photo. On the 8th day, he wrote, "I can't live without you. Forgive me. I was blind." And a week later, he knelt down and asked me to marry him again. The wedding took place. Later. But for love. Lily, you were there at the most terrible moment of my life. I pray for you. Thank you. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433

I'm a backend developer. My life was all about structure, algorithms, and clear cause-and-effect relationships. And then, a year and a half ago, this algorithm failed. At work, I was in a stupor, projects were burning out, even though the code was perfect. At home, it was cold, there were arguments out of nowhere, and the apartment felt like it smelled of mold, even though it was clean. On the outside, I was a successful IT specialist, but on the inside, I was a wreck. I tried therapy, a change of routine, and exercise—nothing. It was as if an invisible barrier was holding me back. Then, in the smoking room, a casual acquaintance I'd only seen once in my life suddenly started telling me how Zakhar had gotten his wife back. Naturally, I chuckled to myself, but his eyes… They sparkled with such sincerity that I decided: I have nothing to lose but time and need to get his contact information. I messaged Zakhar on WhatsApp at +380954248510 and asked for a consultation. For me, it was an experiment. But Zakhar impressed me so much with his abilities! He's truly a clairvoyant, able to see a person's life as if he'd lived it himself. Right down to the details. I didn't even have to tell him anything—Zakhar saw my problems himself, explained their origins, and offered options. I asked Zakhar for help. The work lasted several weeks. But during the process, for the first time in a long time, I felt lighter. It was as if a virus had been draining my system of resources. What next? A month later, I was promoted and given a dream project, one I'd once nipped in the bud. Home? I woke up one day and felt as if I loved my wife as much as I had the first year. All the arguments disappeared, replaced by peace and humor. I still don't know how to explain it scientifically. But as a troubleshooting specialist, I can say that Zakhar found and fixed a bug that no other tool could detect. He's a true master of debugging fate. I recommend him to anyone tired of fighting invisible resistance. Recommendation from IT Specialist: Zakhar (Magical Help) Field of expertise: Software development, 12 years of experience. Name: Igor R. I approach life and work purely rationally. Therefore, when a period of inexplicable setbacks began in my life—a key deal gone awry, constant conflicts in personal relationships, a sudden deterioration in health—I initially attributed it to stress and burnout. However, no standard methods (vacation, vitamins, medical examinations) produced results. I contacted him after a chance encounter with a man who openly shared how the magician Zakhar had helped him restore his family, bringing his wife back after a seemingly final divorce. With my level of skepticism, this sounded incredible, but I decided to consider it an unconventional, extreme method. Contacting Zakhar and his work: Zakhar didn't promise miracles or use dubious paraphernalia. The diagnosis was precise and concise: the presence of negative energy-informational influence (damage) affecting my career and personal life. The "cleansing" process was gradual and took several weeks. Key results (objective changes): 1. Career: Within two months of completing my work with Zakhar, I not only managed to restore the broken deal but also received a promotion offer with increased responsibility. The feeling of "tilting at windmills" at work completely disappeared. 2. Personal Life: Tension in our relationship that had been lingering for months was resolved within a week. My wife and I were able to return to constructive dialogue and harmony, without any apparent external reasons for such a dramatic positive shift. 3. General Condition: The constant feeling of anxiety and physical heaviness disappeared. I can't explain Zakhar's actions from a scientific perspective, but I can confirm their high effectiveness. For those who, like me, value concrete results, Zakhar is a specialist capable of solving problems inaccessible to standard logical or psychological approaches. Based on my personal experience and that of the friend who recommended me, I offer this recommendation.
