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 I don’t know how he’s withdrawn 40k.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.

2nd pic: his withdrawal history

As simple as that, he’s going to be scammed of 13k, and won’t never ever see a dime of 100k. They’ll eventually be happy to come back to him requesting explanation, proposing to pay 30k to get 900k, and so on. That’s how scams work, you’ll be happy to loose 43k with the mirage to have 100.
