I have also learned that this website uses Russian as a primary language indicating that it is most likely a Russian site and it is hosted in the US by a company called Cloudflare and it has a RISK RATING of 10/10πŸ€”

So in sammary this scam was intended to collect your personal data e.g phone numbers from victims.
With this information in the hands of the threat actors, they might use it against you in so many ways for instance social engineering and identity theft among others..

Your take on this

1. NEVER CLICK ON ANY RANDOM LIKE THAT JUST POPS UP.
2. ALWAYS THINK TWICE BEFORE GIVING OUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION.
3. ALWAYS GET INFORMATION FROM THE RIGHT SOURCES
