With all the discussion of holiday gift giving I thought this may be helpful.
It seems there is a huge increase in consumer fraud relating to gift cards.
You can read the details here: http://www.snopes.com/fraud/sales/giftcard.asp

As you probably know, "Snopes" is the Internet authority on debunking false claims, usually propagated through e-mail forwarding on the Internet. I was surprised that this one was actually legitimate.
