100 percent. The fraud department just wants to make sure your account wasn't hacked. Just let them know everything's cool and that will be the end.

Let me give you a little insight to your situation. MR points was transferred out of your account to any one of the many mileage programs attached to it. Amex does not shut down accounts for this. The forums that everyone is quoting is credit cards that have their own mileage attached to it for e.g. United and AA CC cards. Being that you are dealing with points, just let them know that you had it transferred out. I had the same experience with alot more points then that. They just want to make sure no one stole your points.

Hope this helps.
