The Maryland Department of Labor has detected more than 500,000 potentially fraudulent jobless claims since May. It is still unclear how many of those claims have been verified and who is responsible.A Westminster man spoke with 11 News Tuesday. He said he got an unemployment benefits card in the mail and he never applied for one. Ralph Denkenberger got something puzzling in the mail. At first, he thought it was a credit card application. Then when I opened it up, I realized that it was a card issued by the Bank of America and it was giving me unemployment benefits through the state of Maryland, Denkenberger said.Denkenberger said he is not unemployed and did not apply for the card. He immediately canceled the card and reported what happened to the three credit bureaus. He contacted the state but has not heard back.Apparently, Denkenberger is a victim of the potentially half-million fraudulent unemployment claims state officials found in the past six weeks.Labor Secretary Tiffa
