Square is a legit company, just a deeply unethical one that will leave you out to dry if they can get away with it. And they can get away with it.

To me it seems to be a big scam. They will process your transactions and then when you have a big transaction they will hold your account lock it up and give all kinds of reasons on why it is on hold

They are not a scam but have terrible customer service. They have held more then $3300 of my money and still will not release it. I have received little response and cannot get a hold of anyone on the phone.

Square is not a scam they just help the scammers keep your money they steal by not helping in any way and that no help starts after you spend days trying to find a number so you can talk to a real person!

It isn't quite a scam in the sense of it trying to steal your identity or something, but it's a very poorly-run company that has been known to freeze people's accounts at random, and has horrible customer service that just tells you your problem can't be fixed and then stops responding.

I'm going to say Square ultimately is a scam... every other review on here is exactly right! They should be prosecuted or shut down! I love how a previous person put it, because he is EXACTLY right in a concise way.(except I do think they are a scam themselves, they are THIEVES!):

"Square is not a scam they just HELP THE SAMMERS KEEP YOUR MONEY they STEAL by not helping in any way and that no help starts after you spend days trying to find a number so you can talk to a real person!"

They will block you also so you can't get hold of them, by requiring a code, then saying the code is invalid, and that calling is currently unavailable, and it's specific to you!

Square is a legitimate company when it wants to be. However, when they are able to exercise their self proclaimed right to keep your money for extended periods of time, they can do so. They can involuntarily deactivate your account and make you wait for your money for no good reason; in this sense, they are not just scammers but legalized thieves.
