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.

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin... I didn't believe in fortune tellers or clairvoyants for a long time, but I came to Lilia in complete despair. My relationship was completely ruined—my man left me for another woman, and I found out he really had been bewitched by a rival. I was broken, I thought it was the end. Lilia didn't promise "overnight miracles," but she said everything could be fixed. She removed the negativity from him, cleansed us both, set up powerful protection, and most importantly, brought back our feelings. Our relationship was restored right before our eyes, and now we're preparing for the wedding. It's strange to even say, but I'm actually getting married—something I've dreamed of for so many years. This isn't an advertisement, not a request—I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for real help, not just pretty words. She's one of the few who truly sees, knows, and does. Her contact phone number is +380638055486, there is Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433
Thank you, Lilia, for your gift, for your sincere participation and desire to help.
I want to thank Lilia from the bottom of my heart for her incredible help and support during one of the most difficult periods of my life. When it seemed like all was lost, and my loved one had left, leaving behind only pain and emptiness, Lilia became the light that helped me not give up and believe in the best. Thanks to her wise advice, sensitivity, support, and keen understanding of human emotions, I was able to change myself, rethink my relationship, and understand where we both went wrong. Lilia helped me not only bring my loved one back into the family but also build a completely new, deeper, and more sincere connection with him. Today we are together, and I feel a harmony and love I could only dream of before. Thank you, Lilia, for your gift, your sincere concern, and your desire to help. You are more than just a specialist—you are a person with a big heart. May your kindness and talent return to you a hundredfold! Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
Molfar Andriy is amazing at creating. Chula from other people's words, but I myself confirmed it with someone. It is really great happiness that such people with guilt like Andriy exist. I will ruin my homeland if the person is at home. I know a lot of people at home and in other situations. You can solve people’s problems in the same way that they were caused, in a way that you can help in any way. It doesn’t matter to verify it. Write to me on WhatsApp at +380932169225 and ask for a consultation. And you will be happy.
My review of love fortune telling - everything came true down to the last detail!
Girls, I'm absolutely shocked! The reading was online, but it felt like she saw me in person. She told me everything accurately—both about the past and the future. She said my ex would come back, and he did! I recommend her to anyone looking for a genuine clairvoyant, not a charlatan. I'll leave my contact information: +16463779379.
