Thank you for sharing. I can see that 3 days ago someone transferred 1.84 ZCR coins on testnet to your wallet (scammer?).
These are "ZCR" coins, but the scammer instructed you to override the label on these coins with "BTC".
So you own 1.84 ZCR testnet coins, but the Coinbase wallet reports them as "BTC". but this is just a text label. They are not ERC-20s, but the native gas coin of zcore testnet.
That bitcoin address is empty. I think the coin is gone, very sorry.

Thanks for going the extra mile and explaining the this to me. I paid you the bounty.
Now I have a much better understanding of how they pulled this nonsense off.

Thank you for the bounty, and thank you for giving the community the opportunity to document this attack -- and hopefully it is avoided in future.
There should be enough details here that it will show up for a search about:

That is part of the reason I posted on SN I wanted to have a more technical discussion here on like what happened how can this company send my these fake ass tokens but yet trying to convince me they paid me back.
If you search the web about this company nothing shows up! And they are still
Active meaning they are still working the scam!

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?
Here, you'll need to delete the custom network that was previously added.
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?
