(AustraliaI) Is my friend involved in a task scam? Being asked to deposit $50,000 to unlock earnings.

A friend in Australia is concerned about being involved in a scam with Global Data Alliance, a company offering a data-entry job. She was initially able to withdraw small earnings but is now demanded to deposit $50,000 to unlock a promised $260,000 payout. The platform restricts access to her accumulated earnings until the task is completed.
