You're wrong. You really need an attorney. There's no requirement for an order to show cause to follow the rules in Rule 42. What it says is that before the PUNISH you, they have to notify you (in open court, or in an order/warrant) when they'd rule on that. The judge is giving you a heads up on scheduling and issue rather than compelling you at this point. If he wants to actually FIND you in contempt, then he must set a date certain (and notify you as above).
It's not clear what you think is "fradulent" here. Even an judicial error doesn't necessarily equate to fraud. I'd avoid using those words in court without an attorney that concurs.
Always best to get an attorney near the court. It will cost you less in the long run (you will be paying for the attorney's travel) and he'll be familiar with the judge(s) involved. You at least want one in the Southern District.
