As a moderator and community manager, this will be difficult to avoid because scammers want to access and interfere a lot with the project you are managing. If they can't gain everyone's access, they will switch to copying project information and spreading malicious links that are not original content.
Nowadays, crypto-related community platforms attract a lot of people with bad intentions. An event that I remember about TG before was when just uploading photos in the group would have information hijacked, so be on high alert and always update changes as well as scam issues to warn everyone, thanks for sharing the OP.

There are certain measures that can be taken to prevent any sort of hacking attempt in Discord and Telegram. It depends on the moderator's knowledge and competent behavior to save the server from scammers. If anyone is working in such a sector then he should have knowledge about all the security parameters to secure his project server as this is what the project is paying them for.

This is an eye-opener. Now your unique position made you aware of phishing links. I can only think of the regular bitcoin holder without knowledge Javascripts links that contains code to steal a persons log information if the person clicks on it. Once a very important reminder that every bitcoin holder should have the basic knowledge about cybersecurity. There is no regret in this at all.

Never knew someone can be scammed through this way. Thank you for passing this vital information. Most times i see a lot of  private messages on Telegram and they claim to be support and all that. And I noticed something there is a new way of cloning personal telegram account where two different user will have the same username. I have see it one certain time and i was wondering how was this possible because I only know that Telegram supports one account one username. These developers should put a good use of their skills to were will profit them the right way and stop scamming people of their hard earned money. This is why it is good to have technical knowledge about a lot of things .

i tried to look at the link he wanted me to click and found that it had a javascript written on it.

Can you tell us what was the outcome of that code ? I don't want you to share the code but only wanted to know what was the purpose of the scammer ? Was his purpose was to hack the coins, inject a malware or something else.

In most cases, people wouldn't be so techy to check the codes behind the link and may fall for the scammers trap. Scammers are getting innovative these days and its good that you share this new method that scammers may use and i was not aware of it before,

I think that scrept was supposed to give them my browser's cookies which might give them the information they needed to gain access to all the accounts I was using through that browser. Though i am not sure as i have never done it as those scammers want me to do but from my past experience and by observing so many server hack i think this would have happened. 

If someone is working as a moderator, he has administrator access most of the time. This responsibility demands a mind that can do critical thinking and has basic knowledge about technology, and i think this is the third time i am facing such efforts by scammers.
