Square up Beware of these guys they will steal your money and hold for 6 months

Square is holding 20k of my money

On June 28 I received an email from this company requesting detailed info regarding a credit card transaction that I had done with a customer.
(Hello Eric,
Thanks for using Square.
The safety of your Square account is very important to us. To ensure the safety and security of both you and your customers, we need to learn more about one or more of your most recent transactions. We have temporarily deferred deposits to your bank account until we confirm some information about your account. Please keep in mind that, during this period, you may still accept payments using Square.
We realize the difficulty this may cause and we want to resume deposits to your bank account as soon as possible. With your co-operation, we hope to resolve this situation in 1-2 business days.
Please log in to the Square Dashboard on a computer at https://squareup.com/login. Then, click the "Verify account" button in the banner at the top of the page in order to confirm some details about your account.
Once the form has been completed, you will receive an email confirmation and should expect to hear back from us within 1-2 business days.
