It is a very old trick with hazardous hidden links in emails. To be safe, don't click on any emails from strangers or from any service you don't use.
If you open emails, the probability that you are beaten by your curiosity and click on links.
Ignore those emails and deleted them from your inbox and trash (delete them completely I mean).

Your topic says the "same scammers different tricks" I was hoping to see two different phishing attacks related to the same source. Well, our email address is sold by third-party sites for marketing purposes and as long as that happens we will keep getting 100 tons of fake email so the best advice is to stop opening unrecognized mails.
It is always good to check the link using any linkchecker link ScanUrl or Kaspersky Virus total by long pressing it and paste it in their scan bar.Most of the time this will gives you warning about dangerous URL which contains malicious code.
While it is always important to keep your system updated along with OS and Anti-Virus which decrease the chance of getting hacked a lot.
Instead why not assume it's a scam. Nobody sends you mail to help you those who request to chat with unknown people.While it is always important to keep your system updated along with OS and Anti-Virus which decrease the chance of getting hacked a lot.
There are many ways to chat why they ask for an email.
Do not click on any link sent to you by e-mail. Avoid posting e-mails in public, delete conversations you do not know and save sources that you want to respond to.

Simple rule to follow for ourselves to avoid such schemes sent on emails and that is never bother to open up any unsolicited emails sent by random persons since most of that contains malware,phising or other forms of scams so If I where you or for others they should delete it immediately so that we will not be curious to read those unopened mail in the long run.
Actually curious newbies still reading those mails.
Who still spend their time to check out such emails? I have tons of mails that I've never bother to check out because I wasn't expecting them, I only open mails that I'm expecting, this days we must be more careful than ever, scammers and hackers are growing in numbers

It seemed they are so sure you are a man @OP and they seemed to rate the chat 18+ and outlined museum it's headline to tempt you and like most men, you might want to click just to see what's the nude content about the mail and in that instance, the hackers intent is achieved.
Any mails your not aware of or seems to make an attempt on your intelligence, clicking the links isn't the best way to go. Apply caution.

Random links sent by an obvious scammer doesn't really need to be checked, I just delete them immediately, when you receive this sort of unsolicited mail like the one in the OP, you'll prolly know it's from scammers, cause in the first place you were never expecting such mail, the service you mentioned above can be used in cases when you are prolly not so sure if it's a scam or genuine.Having said that, 'always verify, don't trust', don't click on random links and when using your email address on sites, airdrops or services that are somewhat untrusted, make sure to use an email you'll discard right after you're done; always take responsibility.

Ok, so I was just checking out my mails and saw this mail, it was in inbox (not spam) plus it said 'live chat transcript', even though I had not live chatted with anyone in last few days curiousity got ahold of me and I opened it.
Here is what it shows.
If anyone receives such emails, don't click on any links given in it.
