A: Most fraud offenses can be investigated by either local or federal authorities. If you have evidence of a criminal fraud or identity theft, you can begin by reporting that evidence to either your local police department of FBI field office.

A: MORE INFO NEEDED.

HOWEVER, I WOULD FIRST REPORT TO THE POLICE OR FEDERAL AUTHORITIES IF YOU THINK A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO RETAIN YOUR OWN EXPERT SO YOU WOULD HAVE SOME EVIDENCE TO PRESENT TO THE POLICE.......A HANDWRITING EXPERT MIGHT BE A GOOD START.
