General purpose card Unauthorized transactions/trans. issues Connecticut

I reported on - - that an unauthorized atm withdrawal was made to my American Express Bluebird Account of $160.00 as well as ATM fees. I spoke to a representative which then informed me that American Express Blue Bird customers have a 0 % Liability for Unauthorized ATM withdrawals and that she will assist me through the process to retrieve the money taken out of my account. She then informed me to fill out the proper paperwork that it will be emailed to me within - hours. I filled the paperwork and sent it in and within - hours I go to look into my account to print records to bring to the police and could not access my account. I then checked my email and received an email claiming my account has been suspended and that there investigation ( within - hours ) came to a conclusion that it was n't Fraud. I called the number which said to contact to retrieve the paperwork that made them come to the decision and was transferred 4 times and put on hold for an hour to be told that the only information that can be given to me is that my


while the investigation proceeds and that they will do a thorough investigation which could take 45 days which I agreed. I was looking forward to finding out how the money was taken out in the first place. It took like I said before - hours after sending in the paperwork to submit to fraud for them to investigate and then find out they restricted all access from my account. Once again leaving me with no way to inform the police let alone gain the necessary records for myself to settle this situation. I just would like everyone to know that American Express BlueBird is a scam and quote what I was told by a supervisor, " In the Terms which you agreed when you first used the card, American Express has the right to cancel your account at anytime. '' I went through the proper channels to try and fix the situation of money being stolen and American Express becomes the second crook of money being taken.
