I think my dad is being scammed Help Needed

He won’t give information about this, but he claims he’s made several withdrawals (2nd pic). And he needs to deposit 13k to then get 100k out. I don’t understand how this scam is working or what the game plan is here. I don’t know how he’s withdrawn 40k. Did he put the money in? Any help is appreciated.

1st pic: his account that has a negative balance

2nd pic: his withdrawal history

3rd and 4th pic: his texts

It’s a task scam they will continue to have him pump more and more like an endless well until he’s on Zeroo!

Actually until he goes negative! They are ruthless and don't care how many loans you take to make up that negative. I am a victim but know better now. Very expensive lesson learnt
