Sounds like there was an email going around that was a mix of accurate, inaccurate, and outdated information.

I saw this mentioned on the news---you are right about the inaccuracy of the e-mail. I've learned to check with Snopes before I forward e-mails that dis products, or in this case, spread around fear regarding buying gift certificates; however, it's good to be cautious during these hard times about plunking money down on any gift certificate. It's a shame that some people believe a lot of these phony e-mails that are circulating on the web.
