Unable to resize the object with Selection tool in Illustrator

Question

I'm having an issue with selection tool to resize a text box. I'm not sure why this is happening because it's never happened before. When I click on the selection tool, it moves the object but does not resize it. What's going wrong?

Maybe View > Show Bounding Box?

I hope there is a way to get your money back.

I cannot call this a template.

It is one huge artboard with elements that look like pages, (but they are not) with a rectangle behind them to make it look like a dropshadow.

No text, no fonts, all outlined.

Just a single layer.

It would require a lot of work to change the outlined text, to create artboards and set up a workable layer structure.

And the document has un untagged RGB color profile which would require a lot of effort to make it suitable for professional printing.
