Sweetie, go to BBB website. I have never heard of them. I tried to do a search in another workfromhome website but they didn't have anything either. Sorry!

I've never heard of them either. As Work All the Time said, BBB is good. You can also check the state agency for they are licensed and there's Rip Off Report and Google the name plus scam to see what you get.
When you say "offered a trial job", that sounds odd. So approach carefully, please do not invest any money or considerable time until you have verifed them. Good Luck.

Thanks for the information. I caint find any information on them on the BBB either, I also tried google +scam and this came up with nothing as well...... I have not and do not intend to invest any money... To clarify the 2 week trial is supposted to paid as a subcontracter to make sure im a fit for the job or so they say .... I have completed 2 assignemnts with them.... I am new to the Work at home force although I have been looking for legit work for sometime. I dont have DSL or cable internet available only high speed satalite and this seems to limit alot of my opportunities. I have 6 children and cannot work outsite the home (cannot afford daycare). I did spend quiet some time in the brick and mortar workforce, and college any suggestions you guys may have for stable income would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you have the name right? There isn't even a website for magic-service.com.
It's a common ploy with the scammers to do a "trial" period. Don't cash any checks, don't print any checks, don't take money to "buy supplies" to "process accounts" or "process payroll." Don't give them a bank account number. Don't agree to get paid and wire them back some of your pay. Don't agree to do any mystery shops that involve receiving money first or testing out western union or moneygram. What type of work do they have you doing?
If you interviewed over AIM or messenger, be extra wary. What does your contract say?: Where are they located? Did you google their addresses and phone numbers?
