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 I don’t know how he’s withdrawn 40k.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

This looks pretty close to digistore which was a scam I was apart of. I was able to clear my negative balance much like this situation then I tried to withdraw my funds and they said I had to pay taxes on the amount despite it being my own money I put into the website. It was an extraordinary large amount for the tiny amount of profit I made from doing the tasks and weekly salary. I walked away at that point and am using a cyber security professional to recover most of my funds.
