I don't understand your arguments of this topic because you are talking on how to avoid scam which mean we need to make sure our invested money is safe that the projects are not fraud. Is changing our password will tell us that the certain projects is not a scam? Among the rules only no.4 is the one that i only see fit to avoid scam.
I have no arguments with the hackers as they are a cyber threats in which all rules you have mentioned are applicable but in my own understanding that if we talk about scammer this means the we should ensure that their projects are not a fraud so that our money will not be taken away by them during investing. Sorry Pal maybe i misinterpreted it if scam for me is all about facilitated projects only and i stand to be corrected.
These are great tips and let me just add one of mine to your tip #5. Besides using antivirus program, use anti-malware program as well. Some websites that we visit, try to secretly install malware on your computer and in crypto space, there are a lot of scam websites. This is one step further to insure your computer is malware free.
Yes, i am using an internet sercurity program and i run scan virus every day to delete high risk files and more..Yes ok, does an internet security program contain anti-malware scanning tool as well? Because not every antivirus software does... There exist some standalone programs like Malwarebytes, which is among the best in their area of expertise.

in my opinion, we have to do rules number 5 often. We must be very careful about the application that we install. Does it contain malware or not. like we know like the events of a few months ago about ransomware which caused huge losses even to people who didn't use cryptocurrencies. always check with official websites like myetherwallet, blockchain or other crypto websites so it's not easy
All is written correctly. I believe that the most important rule is the attentiveness of the user. If you are careful in your actions, you will be safe.
Thanks for the very high quality advice. I adhere to many except the hardware purse. Since there is no way to buy it yet. And I can say one more criterion. Check the links through virustotal.
These rules are more likely applicable to avoid hacking than scamming, the strong passwords, phishing websites, malware, cold storages and double checking are part to avoid getting hacked nevertheless this is helpful specifically for newbies of crypto to protect their holding and investments against fraud around devices and Internet this is a must and basic for all of us.
Add to rule number 1:
+Have 2FA verification on the exchange account
+Have at least 3 type of password, for the untrusted site, for the trusted site and last, for Google/Facebook.

These are useful hints that should guide the way we relate with third party website as regards our funds. I personally make it a rule never to download indiscriminately on computers where I hold my funds.
Nice and valid points, I'd like to add Don't click any tempting link in the email, giving lucrative offers, messages which include our latest purchase like this (your coins are locked, complete KYC using this link to unlock them), free eth, free coins or anything. Don't send Eth to unknown address having free tokens(Your eth will go away within a blink of eye.)
Easiest way to go about things is to use your common sense, there is really nos such thing as a free lunch so apart from airdrops you should be wary of anything that offers you something for nothing.
Never click on links anywhere in emails or private messages on Slack or Telegram, always type in the url ureself to access wallets and other finance related websites.

Everyone should read this informations carefully. There's a lot of fraud on the market right now. If we're careful, we'il never have a problem.

We are very thankful to this rules and information and we must to follow this guide considering that hackers are better than us , ever since we are very lucky that they are not forgetting small practitioners , but just to do safely , we must be careful to our account .
Another good rule I think is to try to be calm and logical, and avoid FOMO or panic as these can lead to bad decisions.
Airdrops that require KYC are a good example - perhaps some are genuine, but some are definitely phishing scams. If an airdrop has a limited number of places, it can be tempting to give away KYC information in order to take part... but don't, it's really not worth the risk.

If you really want to get serious about your security, any computer that you store coins on you should NOT use for email or general web browsing or anything else that would possibly require you to download something or enter a username or password into that particular PC. Also, if you are freaked out by clicking links in emails and such you can get an old phone or tablet, do not use it for crypto, but have your email accounts on that. You can click all the links you want and they won't be able to get your coins because they aren't on that device, and as an added bonus factory resets on these devices are simple.

1. Always verify a Web wallet’s address, and don’t follow links to an Internet bank or Web wallet.
2. Before sending, double-check the recipient’s address (at least check the first and last characters), the amount being sent, and the size of the associated fee.
3. Write down a mnemonic phrase that allows you to recover a cryptowallet if you lose it or forget your password.
4. Keep a cool head and make informed decisions when crypto-investing, and don’t panic or hurry.
5. Always remember that crypto-investment is very risky. Do not invest more than you’re ready to lose at any moment. Diversify your investments.
6. Use cryptocurrency hardware wallets.
7. Run high-quality antivirus protection to protect the devices you use to access cryptowallets, trade on crypto-exchanges, and so on.
