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.

Magician Zakhar saved my family when I had no hope left for my wife's return. We'd been through a lot during our eight years of marriage, but our mutual feelings and commitment to understanding each other had always been our strength as a couple. Until one time. A time that almost became our family's last. It all started when misunderstandings had been building up for two or three months before our separation. There was tension and misunderstandings, but nothing critical. Then, one evening, I saw before me what felt like a stranger, not my beloved, looking at me with empty, cold, and indifferent eyes. She was completely emotionless and simply said she was leaving. She packed her things, called a taxi, and ran up the stairs without waiting for the elevator. As she left, she added that she wouldn't talk to me about anything except divorce. I was left alone in the apartment, surrounded by deafening silence. Then followed agonizing weeks of trying to write, call, and somehow communicate and find common ground. But she wouldn't communicate and only dryly said that everything was finally decided—only divorce. No argument worked. I was literally devastated and didn't know what to do. Feeling powerless, I began looking for unconventional solutions. I decided to turn to magic, to at least understand what had happened and not lose the chance to save my family. That's how I found the magician Zakhar's number +380954248510 and arranged for him to look into my situation and what could be done. I didn't have to tell him anything. Zakhar saw everything himself and described in detail what happened and how. He even described the scene of the breakup. It was as if he was standing there at that moment. He explained the options, and I asked him to help me. The work lasted about a month in total. Zakhar kept me updated on the process and gave me instructions on what would happen literally day by day. How happy I was when my wife called me for the first time, without any reason, and asked how I was doing! Even though it was a short conversation, my hopes soared. And then, one evening, closer to the time I'd agreed upon with Zakhar, what I'd been waiting for happened. Returning home, I saw the light in our apartment and my beloved's shadow on the curtains. She was watering the flowers on the windowsill. My heart literally started pounding, and I couldn't believe my happiness! I instantly flew to the apartment, started opening the door, and my wife met me at the threshold. Her eyes were full of love and warmth, tears and words about how she'd missed me terribly, how she'd thought about me, and how she realized she couldn't give up... It literally lifted me to seventh heaven! For a couple of weeks afterward, my wife and I occasionally discussed certain things to better understand each other and avoid hurting each other in the future. But the main thing was that my beloved was already there. Several years have passed since then, and my wife and I have not lost our understanding. I still communicate with Zakhar periodically and sometimes contact him about business matters.
My life was completely at a standstill: nothing brought me joy, everything was falling apart. On a friend's advice, I wrote to Daria. She told me I was feeling negative and explained where it might be coming from. After her help, I felt better, the constant tension disappeared, and I felt stronger. Gradually, my life started to improve, even my work started to improve. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but I'm seeing results. Daria, WhatsApp: +1 646 377 9379.
It all started when I was just sitting at the manicurist's. It seemed like a routine procedure, but it was there that I heard a story that changed my life. The manicurist told me how she brought her husband back to his family thanks to the magician Alexander. I listened, and with every phrase, my hope grew. I felt like my whole life was a continuous dark streak, especially in my relationships with my family and money. I took the plunge, got his number +380971792179, and messaged him on Viber. Alexander seemed very calm and reasonable. No questions or unnecessary words, everything was to the point. As he spoke, my skin crawled from the details of my life that no one else could know. We discussed specific details. It became clear that I had a curse on me that was ruining my life. I wasn't even surprised, as I intuitively felt something was wrong. Alexander began working, and with each passing week, I saw changes. My husband has become more attentive and caring, my relationship with the children has improved, and I got a promotion at work. It's a miracle! I thank Alexander every day for bringing back my happiness and helping me see the world in bright colors again.
