I called and had the card blocked, and went down and got another Monday. I'm still waiting for the paperwork to dispute the charge. What a PITA!
I’m not sure if they’re interested enough to pursue it, but airline tickets should be very traceable. After all, you have to show ID to get on the plane.

Oh, that is awful! I should also warn any college students to be sure to go to the correct FAFSA site (.gov not .com). There are a lot of fake sites out there. I have seen this happen to more than one student.
The scammers are a pain. My mother had just gotten PayPal and she got one of those fake notices about her PayPal acct. It freaked her out so much she cancelled PayPal, even though it wasn't their fault.
