Stores Closing

I got the email below and I am not sure if any of this is true but thought I would pass it on. Frankly, I don't see anyone spending less, every store I go to has long lines. The other day at Macy's the children's department alone had lines over 20 people deep. But the economy is tanking.......

Anyway, here is the email: If you have gift certificates to any of these stores you might want to use them quickly.
Watch those store money cards and gift cards.. and credit slips! Stores that informed the Security Exchange of closing plans between October 2008 and January 2009:
