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.

Guys, I turned to many people, but I didn’t see any particular results…. I really needed help, I went to old women, fortune tellers, but none of it worked for me. I needed to get my husband back into the family. We had a good, happy family, many people even envied us. But one day my husband began to change dramatically, he became irritable, only negative from him. He began to sleep separately, I tried to talk to him, to understand what was happening to him. But he didn’t make contact. One evening he came home from work and said, “I’m leaving you,” without a reason or explanation…. He packed his things and left. I was left alone with the child, something went wrong, but I didn’t understand what was wrong with him. I was in tears and depressed, I started going to fortune tellers, ordering rituals, but without results. Until I found the number of one woman. I called her on WhatsApp, did diagnostics, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by her words. She said such things about us, real situations. She sees from the photo, the information comes to her, but she also looks at the cards and wax additionally. Her name is Evdokia, she knows her business, I asked her for help, and I did not regret it. The person really has a gift! She gave me the result in a matter of days, everything as promised. I am very grateful to her, a very clever woman. I will recommend her to everyone. This is not an advertisement, I am a review and gratitude for the good work done. We are together again and happy.

Lily is the one who gave me back the meaning of life...
At first, I didn't believe it, but I decided to give it a try. And I haven't regretted it for a second. Everything I said came true. My husband, who didn't even want to hear about me, suddenly showed up, apologized, and asked me to start over. It felt like a spell had broken the coldness between us. I bow deeply to you for bringing back my happiness! I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
