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.

A word about food stamps I am not an elected servant of the people. But people know me as a journalist for the American newspaper "R.Reklama", where my articles are published in Russian. Marina Lagunova
I never thought that I would find myself in a situation where I would need someone's advice on my personal life. I always thought that I could handle it myself. But at some point, it was as if a wall had grown between me and my wife. We didn't understand each other, and quarrels became daily. There was coldness in the house, and emptiness in my soul. Turning to Lilya was, frankly speaking, a spontaneous decision. But, as it turned out, the best one. With her, I began to see things that I had simply not noticed before. I began to hear my wife differently. And most importantly, I began to change myself. Lilya didn't push or impose, but gently and accurately guided me. Today, we have "us" again. And for this, I am grateful to her with all my heart. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)

I didn't believe it was possible, but Lilia really helped! My husband had left me for another woman, was cold, and refused to even communicate. I turned to Lilia on the recommendation of a friend. She performed a ritual, gave me guidance, and literally 10 days later, he started reaching out to me again. Now we're back together, and I'm grateful I found her. This isn't just magic—it's true salvation! I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
