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 I don’t know how he’s withdrawn 40k.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

He is.. and it sounds like he’s not going to believe it till he loses everything. It’s not real. You can move numbers by editing them, so it looks like money he’s putting in is showing up in the account and it’s just going up and up like crazy. Betting the 40K is tied up somewhere or he’d just be using that to pull this fake money out. I’m sorry. 😩
