Why not just put a special logo or symbol or something on that profile to mark it as special/official, or have some sort of "user type" displayed that says "human" or "official bot" or "third party bot"? I feel like making it look like a regular username makes it _more_ likely people will be scammed by "other" regular users rather than less likely.

For example, like a blue checkmark after the nick for users who are genuinely who they say they are?

Discord already does this - they just don't trust average users to be aware enough to check. (Based on my experience moderating some discords, they aren't wrong.)
