7- Phising sites: I always bookmark my exchanges. Also before clicking the email links, I always check the url, I never click if it is not a "HTTPS". I also use WOT extension on Chrome to check if the link is safe or not...
I like to reiterate this one. Many newbies fell for such phishing sites especially those that are into airdrops and giveaways. When they've been provided a link by the developer or whoever runs those campaigns, they don't check it with due diligence and in the end they're ended being phished and all funds are gone. Scammers are wise so everyone needs to be wiser than them. And no one will be phished if you're not going to give your entire details that's being asked especially the critical ones like your seeds, private keys and other details that connects you to your wallet and other vital information. That's how these phishing sites are made for, to get those important information for them to gain access whatever they can that they think we're accessing also for our funds.

Aside from bookmarking, when you're searching website as you use the search engines. When you search keywords there of the websites you're searching, make sure that you're reading the short description that are on top of the search results and read the URL as well. If they're sponsored/advertised by that search engine and if there is a mispelling of the URL then that's a sign of a red flag and fake website.
