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?
• Check if the company is legit. Check if the company has a license to operate
in New York State. Call

• 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.

"Magic exists!"

If someone had told me earlier that I'd turn to a clairvoyant, I would have laughed. But when my husband became cold, started working late, stopped talking to me, I felt like I was losing him. Lilya saw everything! She said there was negativity on him, that our family had been cursed. She cleansed him, gave him a talisman, and performed a ritual. Three days later (!) he himself said he wanted to mend things between us. It was as if a weight had been lifted from our souls. We bow deeply to you, Lilya!

Brighton Fair: A celebration of colour, encounters and memories
On the last Sunday of August, many people were looking forward to the traditional Brighton Fair, which has been organised for many years by the Brighton Residents Association, headed by Pat Singer. But this year the festival took place a week earlier – on 24 August.

I am very grateful to Marfa for her help, wisdom, and sincere attitude. She's not just a fortune teller, but a person with a true gift and a kind heart. I recommend her to anyone who's confused or lost hope; Marfa really does help! I'll leave her number a

I'd like to share my experience of turning to the fortune teller Marfa. Honestly, I went to her out of desperation; my relationship with my husband was crumbling before my eyes. He had grown cold and distant, and there were constant arguments and misunderstandings in the house. A friend recommended Marfa, saying she truly sees everything for herself and doesn't force anything unnecessary on anyone. Indeed, as soon as I went to see her, Marfa immediately explained everything herself! I didn't need a single unnecessary hint from her. She accurately described what was happening in the family, what was on my husband's mind, and even mentioned details no one else knew. This truly surprised me and inspired confidence. Marfa explained why this had happened, what was hindering our mutual understanding, and suggested harmonizing our relationship. She did everything very carefully, kindly, and without pressure. Within a couple of weeks, I began to notice changes: my husband began calling, asking how I was, then he started coming home, and he became softer and more caring. Now there's peace, warmth, and respect between us again, as if everything has been renewed. I'm so grateful to Marfa for her help, wisdom, and sincere attitude. She's not just a fortune teller, but a person with a true gift and a kind heart. I recommend her to anyone who's confused or lost hope; Marfa really does help! I'll leave her number: +380931150260, Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram.
