Allow me to introduce myself, I am Vince Moroni a direct descendant of my ancestor that had guarded the golden tablets of Mormon. He has entrusted to my family the famous golden helmet of Mambrino. Would this qualify me to be Prophet?

No. The way you become the Prophet is to first be called as an Apostle and then you need to be granted to live long enough to become the senior Apostle and the when the current Prophet dies, you would then become the Prophet.

Yes, you can, but it's not through heredity.
Anybody can be a prophet who makes themselves worthy to commune with a holy Being.
"And Moses said... would God that all the LORD’s people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"
And when you get that communion, and it tells you that the former revelations of God are false...
...then tip your had and bid farewell to Satan, and start over again, the right way.

Why not? You aren't the first to make such claims. If you read "Divergent paths from the Restoration", you will see that over 12 people made such a claim while Joseph Smith was still alive.

Sorry, but if you read the end of the Book of Mormon, you'll find that Moroni died alone, with no descendants.
Your parents have been lying to you about your ancestry!

Yes, the story of your Moronic descent qualifies you to be a prophet.

Aren't the Mormons a cult? Don't they all live together on a compound and sexually abuse children? Well, maybe not all of them but a vast majority of them?

If the Lord desires you to lead His church then you will. If not, sorry, you lucked out.

anyone can say they are a prophet, but you might have a problem getting people to listen to you as such.

No you can't. Prophets are worthy men that follow Jesus' example and they are chosen by God. Those kind of questions you're asking are not something that Jesus our brother and savior would do. So you're not being worthy. It is not good to put down others and being disrespectful with people that deserve respect.
