there are always chain letters going around making up rumors and such...
the list above has been verified as being PARTIALLY correct..

to see the actual list of stores that ARE closing, goto:

http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/storeclosings.asp

it also lists the rumors about the gift cards being inactive or not working after the holidays...

although using email as a warning system is not a bad idea, a lot of rumors are spread by email...and sometimes it is better to check online whether or not the email is TRUE before posting it in a forum and scaring consumers away. Snopes is a good website in verifying online rumors and chain letters that go around...
