Appreciated help from ONEnergy, I almost forgot to mentioned about user IDs in Discord groups and unique user IDs. Now, I added this additional details for my thread.

You should notice to differentiate between user IDs and unique user IDs (or also called as  multi-digit ID number)


With this user in Crypto Bridge Discord group, user ID in that group is

What I should do to get this user's unique user ID?
Let's follow these steps:
User Settings > Apperance > Developer Mode (turn it to ON)

Now, let's apply this Developer Mode to check unique user ID of Scott Wehman#6261.
Right click on the username of Scott Wehman > Click on Copy ID

Paste ID copied to see what it is


Yeah, as you can see: Scott Wehman has user ID in Crypto Bridge Discord group is #6261, but has an unique user ID is #409926710658596865.

I added this point too (just think of it minutes ago).
- Developers can be scammers too. They can create new accounts, that play as normal users, to scam people in their communities. This can occur with scam projects, because the main purposes of developers is to scam investors, so it is not strange if they create new accounts to act as scammers in their communities, while their main accounts (play as developers) still look like innocent.
