You should not provide personal information to anyone including a private key. Do not click on unknown links. If you trade, ask a third person to trade with you.
Just an assumption, since you said you had a complex password, you might have mistaken click on a phishing site. Hackers do not need to know your password first before hacking into your privacy. They can send you a phishing site through your mail or perhaps you by mistake stumbled at a phishing site.

To avoid scam I will suggest to do some time to research and study about the projects. All the possibilities that would happen should always be secured by just enable the 2fa authentication for the email address or the wallet that used for holding coins and private keys always on you no one should have this.
The best thing to avoid being scammed, study the offer amount of what being you will earn on your investment, if the offer is very high interest amount that you will earn on your investment will that was a 100% scamm.

I hate to say this, but for my 1 year in this crypto world, ive been hacked, I dont know how he get my credentials, but i think its my mistake cause i forgot to enabled the 2fa, I guess i just learned from my mistakes. But I really dont know how he get my credentials, my password was too complicated and long. Can anyone advice me whats best to avoid those scammers ?
I just did the same mistakes, always remember this do not let anyone know your pin or any info meaning to say trust no one, do not connect your devices in a public places because hackers are waiting for their victim, do not click any suspicious link because we never know it is a trap so just ignore it and lastly as you said always enable 2fa. Suspicious link clicking, registering on unknown site, inside job hacking and malware attack maybe one of the cause of hacking so we should prevent to be curious on any unknown matter so that we will not be a huge victim of hack. But my case is different I mistakenly inputted my private key on airdrop sheet and been hack for that carelessness and now I make sure that my PK are been separated to my address so that the same mistake will not occur on my part.
Learn from your mistakes and experience.
Be more secure. Invest in a better wallet. Look out for better ICOs, so on.

Firstly you should use clean machine device / free from malware every log in to your account, always log in from bookmark link. Use unique and private email address for sensitive account like for wallet and exchange. And most important thing always enable 2 FA and change the password in every 1 or 2 month. Also important to use antivirus for your device.
Not totally all the time that we can escape scammers, only we can noticed that it is a scam when they don't pay us or they even disappear without proper information. But we can avoid scammers by looking forward the very known person or profile of the certain accounts. Like for example when we join campaign, we must look at the profile on a campaign manager which is a very trusted campaign managers that has already a long experienced.

Sounds like your account on an exchange got hacked. It would be better if you do your further research on how its security works and enabling 2FA really is a great help for your account. Your password must contain special characters, upper and lower case letters. Do not save your password on your device and do not leave your funds to an exchange. Save the legit website as bookmark to avoid phishing sites.
it could be true because, in the exchange, we need to secure our account from the attackers or other people that try to use our account. and like you said, by enabling 2FA and combine our password with words, number, special characters, it could prevent from the attackers and besides that, we can enable email verification for withdrawal besides of enabling 2FA so it will more secure. changing the password periodically is another good option to make sure that our account will be safe and we can do this for once a month or once in three months.
One tip to take into account is that Cryptomoedas are high risk investments, but betting on a new COIN that you have never heard of is a shot in the dark that can fatally hit you. The tip is: stay away from high yield promises with too easy liquidity involving an unfamiliar currency. It is more likely to be a coup than a legitimate application.
Read a lot of informations,find some redflags so you can avoid scam projects or coin.But even if you have researched there are still chances that you will get scammed because even those legit projects might turned into scammed if the founder has eaten by his greed,most of these people doesnt care about what will happen to them if they are caught.
