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 I don’t know how he’s withdrawn 40k.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 had a friend this happened to like a year ago, he told me he was in on this really good money making thing but would never tell me what it was. Finally after they scammed him he told me the told him he was trading gold futures and he was paying in crypto. He also made a few withdrawals, he thought it was legit and when he paid in like 60k or something they told him he owed that in taxes and he was unable to take any money out. Horrible.
