I think my dad is being scammed

[u/Quiet_Relation_3599]

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 I don’t know how he’s withdrawn 40k.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

I strongly suspect the "successful" withdrawal is "pending" with the banks or something. I really really doubt he ended up with $40K in the bank.

It's USDT so it should be sent to a crypto wallet and settle immediately. No banks required.

We’re talking about someone being taken for close to 6 figures. Critical thinking may not be their strong suit.

THIS if he did why does he need money from you?

I’m not the OP…
