I believe that I am a victim of mortgage fraud. What should I do?

You will need to compose a request letter requesting a complete copy of the loan documents related to your property from the mortgage lender, and then mail the letter by certified mail to the mortgage company. See sample request letter at http://www.consumerfinance.gov/mortgagehelp/. Contacting your bank, the mortgage company, or lending institution in a timely fashion may help your cause.
