I think fraud might be a little off. Breach of contract might be more in line. If I recall the promotion stated that the bonus miles would post in 6-8 weeks. Am I right on that?
Mine took more than 8 weeks and it took one hell of a lot of work to get what they owed me.
BS all around.

My experience
Transfered the miles on the evening of the 31st. Waited, waited and waited some more for the bonus. I was worried as both the date and posted date on Delta.com said it was the 3rd of November. After two emails to Delta, got the bonus posted yesterday. Annoying that the customer has to follow up, in my case twice, but at least I finally got the miles.

Lucky you - I have the same situation with miles bought on 10/31 posted on recipients account on 11/3 and still no bonus miles. I've emailed 5 times - I have pretty much given up on ever seeing these miles.

Finally!
Just received my bonus miles today. I think the only thing that worked for me was calling 404-773-1945. I talked to Anne. She said she was in the Tampa office and was very knowledgeable. Hope this helps.

How long was it between your call and seeing your miles in your account. I've called and ended up with the Tampe office twice. But, still no miles. I was told I qualified and would get the miles. But, this is crazy at this point.

One said to wait for the travel to post, that the bonus would post after the travel.... And it went downhill from there....
Good luck!

I did finally get my miles and let Delta know that they were in breach of contract for posting my bonus miles more than 8 weeks after they were obligated to do so. They gave me a paltry 3000 miles as a "sorry" and this BS email.

Finally
After 6 calls, 2 e-mails, and one fax, I finally received the miles today. Amazingly, I spoke with a customer service rep who actually volunteered to call me back and then did! She said the miles are in your account now and they were. I'm grateful to have the ordeal over with. Good luck to anyone else still waiting.

Took long enough
Finally got my bonus miles today. I too, like many of us transferred miles on Oct 31st, with a posting date of Nov 3rd. Took 3 emails, 2 phone calls and almost 3 months later.
Glad I wasn't waiting on these miles for any sort of trip.
