It never arrived on that address though. No transactions were seen involving this address.
If @BlokchainB really send bitcoin from mainnet (which hold value unlike testnet coins), his wallet shouldn't even allow to create such a transaction to some other net. Addresses are prefixed with their network (mainnet, testnet, regtest, signet) and you can definitely not send something from bitcoin mainnet to some ZCR testnet.
So I am still confused what exactly happened here. @BlokchainB, is that really the address to which you sent your coins or is this some deposit address you are getting now?
How did you send your coins?
Maybe this was a cover-up for them. Maybe you can't find the actual deposit address in the Coinbase wallet anymore. But the wallet from which you sent the coins should still show it?
I think the idea is they are meant to send the coins from that zcore wallet to the address he provided, this is the 'scam' part.
OP provided payment through other means not documented here. We don't need to know this, this is private to OP.
They are making the zcore testnet coins look like "BTC" on "BTC" on the coinbase wallet. Its designed to confuse the user into thinking testnet coins are bitcoin. Thats the flourish.

Yeah I’m still talking to their customer service and they are saying I was paid and I need to talk to the network provider and pay a fee to finally withdraw to a personal wallet.
If you guys only knew how many times I paid a “fee” to get my own money back it’s laughable. But once you get in that’s how they kept me on this emotional roller coaster

I don't know this Reddit thread is related, but has more details:
Still talking to their customer service!!!
If you can, make recordings. They will be most useful one day. These folks are not friends and I doubt they can help you, only try to scam you more.
Scammers destroy value. Put them out of business.
If this amount is what I think it is, you may wish to log a case with the financial authorities. This is entirely up to you if you wish to seek help from the authorities.
