Sounds like an old scam trick I have seen before. The user will pretend to send you the funds in the very exchange. If you try to withdraw, they will ask you to "verify the account" by first depositing your Bitcoin in the exchange. Once you deposit the BTC. It's gone.
Thanks for being Vigilant. Flagging the scammer
