Sorry, that should have read "you could be a victim of fraud", not "you could [not] be a victim of fraud".

Dionna, you need to file police report for your missing checks and personal papers, even if you cannot prove who took it or when. If it has your Social Security Number on it, or a birth cerfiticate, you could not be a victim of fraud, and you need this documented to form a paper trail of investigation. Check your credit report every couple months, see if any unual things are happening like new credit cards being opened that you don't know about. Call your old bank and close out that account, let them know of the missing checks. Call 1-888-DOT-SAFT to file a claim. Then call the IRS Fraud Tipline to report the demand of payment in cash only-no postal money order accepted- as this most likely will alert the IRS that US-1 is not reporting all income and paying all taxes.
