Buy your clothes off-the-rack, but never your gift cards. Ever.

Trust me. I know. For 20 of my 26 years as a TV reporter, I was a full-time consumer investigator in the Mid-South. I’ve investigated thousands of rip-offs, scams, businesses gone bad. Some of the schemes I continue to uncover just leave you shaking your head, wondering who you can trust.
