Every week, Matter for Mallory works to answer consumer questions, expose scams, and help Marylanders navigate problems that affect their wallets.
This week's stories highlight two issues impacting consumers across the state: unexpected vehicle registration charges and scammers targeting recipients of government benefits.
In one case, a Maryland driver received a refund after seeking help with what appeared to be an overcharge tied to a vehicle registration transaction. The story serves as a reminder for consumers to closely review fees and ask questions when something doesn't seem right.

The second investigation focuses on a scam targeting Maryland residents who receive EBT benefits. State officials are warning consumers about criminals who are spoofing Maryland's official EBT phone number in an effort to steal personal information and potentially gain access to benefits.
As new EBT cards arrive across Maryland, officials urge recipients to remain cautious and verify any requests for personal or financial information.
