I received an email today from an attorney here in town that sent me a list of stores that were closing and stating that if I had any gift cards from any of these stores I should redeem them immediately. This is not the first time I have seen an email like this.

And since the economy stinks right now it is no wonder that stores are closing their doors. It piqued my curiosity enough to make me do a couple of searches on the INTERNET to see what I could validate and exacly what the truth was.

I checked the website www.truthorfiction.com and www.snopes.com  and both had a lengthy list of stores that were scheduled to close.

Since we are entering the Christmas season and the buying frenzy is due to start I figured I would go ahead and share with you the links so you can check your gift cards. Just a note that Snopes actually had a more recent update.

Hope you find this useful! Have a wonderful weekend.
