"Dude, sorry to hear that you got scammed. Make sure you're using 2FA and a strong password, and be cautious with emails asking you to verify your account. Also, keep an eye out for those phishing emails claiming to be from Google"

"Yikes, sorry to hear that bro! Two-factor auth is a no-brainer, get it enabled ASAP and consider using a password manager to generate and store unique, strong passwords. Don't wanna be a statistic, right?"

"Dude, so sorry to hear that! Two-factor auth is a lifesaver, IMO. Make sure it's enabled on all the accounts that matter, especially the ones linked to your crypto wallet"

"Dang, sorry to hear that happened to you! Make sure your 2FA is always on, and don't be clicky with links from unknown senders. Also, use a password manager to keep all your accounts secure"
