Beware the Christmas Scams

I picked up a couple of not too nice news items today. Hate to pass around bad news but some things you need to be aware of.

I purchased gift cards as some of my Christmas presents. After reading the following article I immediately checked them. There is no way anyone could have tampered with them or gotten any of the pertinent information. They are packaged so that the card is completely covered and it would be very evident if someone had opened the package. So just beware when you buy any gift cards.

The other piece of news concerns child labor. We all dislike the major companies going overseas for cheap labor. However when we find that the labor used is children and that those children are being mistreated as well as working sweatshop hours, it puts those companies in a very bad light.

I understand that the faces the owners see are not the faces that are actually doing the work. However, if a news organization can find the truth, why does a company with a huge bottom line not take the time to do the same. Perhaps we need to do something to cut back that bottom line.

Hope you are almost done with your Christmas shopping. I only have 3 more gifts to buy and that will happen this coming payday.
