Record the explanation

Ask for the reason in writing and keep the relevant account terms. A delay or request for verification does not, by itself, establish misconduct.

Review additional payment demands

Preserve any request for a new deposit, fee or “tax” to release funds. Independently verify the explanation before sending further money.
