I thank you for reporting what you were told, but I wonder if this is the case of a CSR blabbing and speculating (which they sometimes do).
Figured this deal would dry up pretty quick when the numbers of identical email request started mounting up.
But I agree, the only way this could be called fraud is if someone tried to claim they actually received the said offer when they didn't. Otherwise, like you say, it's just a case of Chase giving someone an extra 50,000 miles because someone sent a message to them saying that "someone else got this offer so give it to me too."
Just a case of Chase CR's being very nice or very careless.
For those that did already received the extra 50,000 points it sounds like you may want to make a quick transfer just to be safe.
