You can mix 2FA with password strength with have numbers; special characters; uppercased and downcased letters. And when login need the code send you mobile
Avoid giving your data, especially keep your private keys securely, sometimes we tend to put the private key instead of our address.
Also giving data like name, email address and also IDs are also risk, as this can be used by scammer to forgot and recover your passwords.

As a higher tier member it is easy to request that a merchant or seller of whatever item goes first. It is a really easy way to avoid being scammed to request somebody to go first. As a newer member this is not very likely.
Escrow transactions are the best way, but it is quite hard to facilitate escrow transactions. Finding a reliable escrow is tough. The fees required to get an escrow are tough.
This is why I suggest when you want to buy something you use Bitify, a crypto marketplace. I've bought from there a few times, and while the sellers there have always agreed to refund the money if something bad happens, I imagine their escrow team would be fair.

I'm sorry mate, this is really bad... I've found rarely such bad people. I don't understand how could you steal from someone so easily. How would you feel after what you did? We must be aware of phishing attempts. Always bookmark you favourite sites.
I think you should join community groups to ask for opinions from many people, so you will know what is the truth, where is the fraud. I think there are many ways to discover them, you join Crypto for a long time you will learn a lot more.
This forum is perfect place to inquire on what is the status of the project, ICO or whatever it is we want to join since there are so many exoerience guy who's willing to give their critical mindset on what to avoid and what you need to know about the site you wish to ask. But to avoid it really is we need to know for ourselves on which on will be the one who's gonna put us on loss situation.
The best way to do is to take a lot of reading. Do not just easily attracted to a project, make a good read of its review and the details of the project. You have to check the development team, tgey are the key to success, be sure that thise people really do exist. A legit project has a good and big number of community. Its community will determine how demanding the project is.

You are responsible for this situation, when a site provides you the second factor protection, why would you turn that down, never use the same password in different sites, no matter how hard it would be, using same password is just inviting danger, hope your system is not compromised if you think you have a fairly good password, these are the common mistakes everyone makes.
Install some good antivirus in your computer add some anti malware so that your unit will be safe from these software attacks,phishing sites will be prevented thru install metamask extension it blocks malicious website and you will get prompted when you are visiting one.Do use your common sense and do not be fooled because these scammers arent going to stop to what they are doing to most of the new people.

That is very unfortunate for you. There are various ways you can get hacked like your unit has been compromised with keyloggers or malwares, you signed on a phishing site or mail. 2FA is a good defense in protecting your account, so you should always have one when it is available. Always protect you computer from malwares and viruses. Always check the site you are logging in.

Try checking the device you are using is there any suspicious programs or maybe you arbitrarily open the web by clicking the link in email or anywhere other than in this forum?
So far I always bookmark the web that I often visit including also in this forum.

You shouldnt get scammed because you are here long enough to know how these shit scammers do,never give your private keys to anyone,buy some good hardwallet like trezor or ledger just to be safe from any attacks.Use your common sense when you are investing to an ICO or a COIN do a lot of research so you can avoid these potential scams.
2FA is an important security to every file or app you have. For you not to have locked your account perhaps on exchange, means your email is also not locked. Do you know that sometimes, emails can also be easily hacked to get people's credentials. Ensure you also lock your email with 2FA factor.
Protect your wallets at all the time,get some hardwallet,use metamas extension install some good anti virus and malwarebytes to be sure that your computer wont be affected,Never trust anyone your private keys because it might be the reason why you would lose all of your investments,never try to participate shit projects in our community.
