1: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)on all platforms where you store valuable assets or personal information.

I'm just wondering, don't all exchanges require users to have 2FA? Without 2FA, an account is like an open cookie jar for hackers. But since it was mentioned in the OP, I'm curious. Most exchanges I use force me to enable 2FA, and sometimes I even get an email confirmation when I transfer coins.
2FAs are mostly optional for exchanges. They can allow the account to keep trading and do all transactions but for most, they're requiring it as a step to increase the protection of their users and that's why they're forcing each of us to do that even for SMS, email, and/or authentication.

Five Common Tactics Scammers Use:
1: Fake remote job offers  They will promise  you high-paying remote jobs but ask for upfront fees for training, work tools, or background check only to disappear with your money
The obvious thing is when someone finds employment or a job to work for, you doesn't pay an upfront fee or handling fee. But those that don't know that this scam exists and are in dire need of having a job, they're the ones who are likely to lose money.
