If you get the same response I would definitely ask for a supervisor (or to be transfer to fraud prevention).
She did finally get to a competent supervisor who opened an investigation/account audit, said she'd hear back in up to six weeks.

I don't know, I'm guessing maybe they also paid with a stolen CC number? Only thing I can think of.

It was the very next day.

A crime has been committed.

Did Delta indicate that THEY would be filing a report with law enforcement, or did they ask you to do this? If Delta didn't indicate, ask. If they aren't going to, you may wish to file with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).

Well the account audit was completed already and Mrs. 84fiero's miles have been restored to her account!^ Whole thing was kinda weird, but all's well that ends well.

I do want to say that the Delta corporate Flyertalk account also PM'ed me offering to help if we still needed it, which was appreciated as well.
