Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, I was contacted by someone claiming to be someone who can help me financially. As someone who When I reluctantly accepted, they sent me a check for {$4500.00} which I deposited into my bank. On the next day, however, they began threatening to report me for theft to the authorities and demanded the money back. Over the next two days, I sent back two payments of {$1500.00} because that is the max allowed for me to send each day on XXXX ( via Huntington Bank ). But this morning ( XX/XX/2021 ), when I went to make the final payment to the individual, I saw that on top of the {$3000.00} I already sent, an additional {$4500.00} was withdrawn from my account; leaving me a balance heavily in the negatives. I immediately contacted my bank ( Huntington Bank ) and was told that there is pretty much nothing I can do besides paying back the negative balance despite having already paid two thirds of the balance. So unless I get some help, I am in the hole for the foreseeable future. Never trust people who claim to be generous and giving. They're all scammers.

Complaint:
I have not been able to access Comenity ( my BJs credit card ) since Thursday of last week. I check my credit card regularly, making sure payments are applied correctly, that there are no charges applied that I did not make, that there are no unwarranted fees, etc. However, the website has been down for a minimum of 6 days. Every time I try to access it, I get a message about scheduled maintenance. I have searched on their XXXX page for answers and to see if I am the only one having this problem and have realized that hundreds ( potentially thousands ) of people are having the same issue. At the time of this report, there were over XXXX comments with the only response from Comenity being an automated response. Shockingly, there is an indication that this issue will not be resolved prior to XX/XX/XXXX. If that is accurate, the system will have been down for over 10 days. I have automatic payments that are scheduled to be made from this account and I dont know if theyre going to be on time now. My payment for this account is due soon and I have no way of paying it. I do not want to incur any charges or have my exceptional credit rating impacted by this problem. Please help.

Complaint:
I have the top tier American Express Delta Sky Miles Credit Card, for which I pay {$550.00} per year. Among the benefits advertised and contracted are free TSA precheck membership and discounted Clear membership. I recently enrolled for both and was not issued a refund/credit. I had the same problem last year and was told that it should be automatic when I enroll through the company/agency that issues the membership. I called customer service and was given a nonsense excuse for why it had not been credited. I have now called 3 times and gotten nowhere. I tried to dispute the charge for the Amex membership given that the contracted services were not provided, but I got transferred to another line that no one picked up.
