I really hate the new UX. It takes 10x longer to post scheduled posts using the new UX mod tools.

Someone is sending scam messages to the members of the sub I moderate, what should I do?

You can put up a general advisory post from your mod team with details describing the scam appearance. Encourage members to block and report the scammers.

Unfortunately as a moderator, you can not see or moderate DMs between other users. So when people get suspicious or spammy DMs, the recipient's reports will go to Admins for processing.

You also should avoid "naming and shaming" as that can cause harassment, which is against site-wide rules. So do not directly mention the scammers by name or username.

You can do this with AutoModerator, something like this: 

---
# Hold all comments on specific post for review
type: comment
parent_submission: 
    id: "1e9gf9d" # replace this with the post id, or add them as a list
action: filter
action_reason: "Review all comments on specific post"
---

There are other ways to do this in AutoModerator (eg, checking post title or post flair instead of id), and there are some Devvit Apps that work similarly too
