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.

Echo of Babi Yar

Echo of Babi Yar
Thousands of kilometers from Kyiv, in Brooklyn, in a square in Brighton, people gathered not for a formal ceremony; those who are not indifferent to the tragedies of the past and present came, who understand that memory is not only grief, but also responsibility, and perhaps even advice for action.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you saved my family!

After her consultation, my life completely changed. My husband and I hadn't spoken for almost six months, and I no longer believed it was possible to bring everything back. She looked at the photos and told me everything as it was—down to the last detail! She performed the ritual, and within a week, my husband wrote to me and started looking for a meeting. Now we're back together, as if we've fallen in love all over again. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, you saved my family! I'll leave you her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433
 

Lilya, you gave me a second life.

Three months of tears, pain, and loneliness. He left, saying he no longer loved me. I nearly lost my mind. Lilya, you gave me a second life. You brought him back. You brought back my love. I will never forget that! Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
 

Martha became the person who helped me rise up, believe in myself and get back what was most important to me.

When I came to Marfa, I was completely devastated. My husband had left me for his mistress, my life had fallen apart, and I was beside myself. But the most amazing thing was, I barely had to explain anything. Marfa looked at me, and I felt like she could see everything: my pain, my confusion, my fear, even what I was trying to hide from myself. She spoke so clearly, as if she were peering deep into my soul. And when she suggested performing her rituals, I felt hope for the first time in a long time. I don't know how it works, but I trusted her completely. After her work, something inside me seemed to change: I became calmer, more confident, I stopped rushing around and falling into that panic that only destroyed everything around me. And it seemed to me that the very atmosphere in the house was changing along with this... And then came what I had almost stopped believing: my husband returned. On his own, without pressure, without scandals, with remorse and a desire to return everything. We talked for a long time, opened up to each other, and gradually managed to restore our family. I can't explain how it happened. But I truly believe that thanks to Marfa's rituals and the tremendous support she gave me, everything happened. Marfa became the person who helped me rise up, believe in myself, and reclaim what was most important to me. And for this, I am grateful to her with all my heart. I will leave her number +380931150260 Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram
 

I didn't believe in rituals or esotericism, but I was so desperate that I decided to give it a try.

I didn't believe in rituals or esotericism, but I was so desperate that I decided to give it a try. Lilia performed the ritual, and I followed all her recommendations. And—miracle! Eleven days later, my husband showed up. He'd been thinking about me all this time, dreaming about me, as he later admitted. Now we're together, and I know my trust was worth it.
