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 went to her place without hope, with a broken heart. But she greeted me with warmth, as if she had known me for a long time. Without asking, she described everything that had happened between us. I burst into tears. And for the first time in a long time, I felt heard. She performed a cleansing ritual and restored harmony to my soul. And my beloved began to seek out me himself. Now everything is different. Softly, honestly, truly. Thank you, Lilia. WhatsApp/Viber: +380638055486 USA/Canada: +19297133433
I came to Lilia with a broken soul. She spoke so softly, listened so attentively, that I felt understood. After her work, I saw signs, changes, and steps toward meeting each other. And now that we are together again, I remember her words every day: "Love cannot be lost if the heart is open." Thank you, Lilia. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
I turned to Lilia when I realized that my relationship with my wife was falling apart.
I didn't think long before writing this review. I contacted Lilia when I realized my relationship with my wife was falling apart. Constant arguments, misunderstandings, and coldness. Lilia helped me look at everything from a different perspective and understand what I could change. Following her advice, I was able to establish a dialogue, and literally within a short time, the atmosphere in our family became completely different—calm and warm. Now everything is much better for us than it has been in recent years. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
I want to write because Oksana really helped me. I messaged her on Viber: +380937555708. First, I had a fortune-telling, and everything matched—the past, the present, the thoughts of the person I love. Then she performed a love ritual to cleanse me of negativity. I really felt the changes: I could breathe easier, my constant fears went away, and my relationship started to improve. She helped me get my loved one back and restore trust in my family. I recommend her to anyone looking for real help.
I came to Lilya in a state of complete devastation. My husband had left, saying he'd "outgrown his family" and "needed something else." I cried every day, lost my appetite, and lost my purpose in life. Lilya listened, felt my pain, and immediately said, "This isn't the end. You've just drifted apart—in spirit. But that can be restored." At first, I didn't believe it. But she worked with me, gave me precise advice, performed an energy cleansing, and helped me get back to myself. Three weeks later, he contacted me himself. A month later, we were sitting at the same table and talking honestly for the first time in a long time. I sincerely believe that without Lilya, none of this would have worked out. Here are her contact details: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
