Repeating attempts to change my cc without authorization! Why is Sitter City making repeated attempts to charge my bank without my permission, resulting in charges from my bank?

My accounts keep getting disabled.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I'm going through my company, Northrop Grumman Corporation, because they offer a free yearly subscription. I went through three different emails because each one keeps getting disabled.

For some reason, they detect my activity appears to be a scam or something similar, or suspected of unacceptable behavior and violation of terms. I'm not sure what I did.

The only thing I did was register my email, set up a childcare application for my kids and then, when I tried to log back in, it said, 'Looks like your login failed'. I've reached out via email many times and received no response.

Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

I've been scammed by someone on the sitter app, and they sent me a fake check for almost $3,000. I reached out to them, stating that I knew the check was fake.

She then stated that I didn't need to listen to the bank and kept asking me to deposit it into my bank account. She has my address, my phone number, and my email.
