There are so work at home opportunities that are posted on the Internet, newspapers, and magazines, that it is sometimes hard to know which are legitimate and which are not. The Magical Gift Company has earned a lot of buzz on message boards and blogs as a work at home opportunity. If you are worried about a Magical Gift Company scam, here are some facts you should know that come straight from those who have worked for them:
You should generally see a red flag warning when any company requires you to pay for something or charges you a fee before you begin working. That is exactly what the Magical Gift Company does. You have to purchase your own kit full of instructions and tools that you will need for the crafting jobs you will be assembling. Just the starter kit on its own is $50, and they encourage you to purchase much more if you want to succeed.
Once you have received your kit and first craft, you may be surprised by a project that is a little more difficult and time consuming than you had anticipated. After you finally get through the instructions and assemble the product, in many cases it will be rejected by the company for some small defect. You may find yourself returning the craft multiple times; many have attested that it took months for their project to be approved.
This is time consuming at best, and many lose patience and give up on this company before their first project becomes approved. Some have said that even with practice it would be impossible to produce more than two or three craft pieces in an hour, receiving less than $2 for each.
In truth, the company seems to be legitimate, as several have received checks from them. However, you will not get rich working for the Magical Gift Company, and you will indeed by fortunate to make even $50 the first year you are with them! Some who have stuck it out for a few years claim to make $300 a month assembling crafts, but this seems to be only for those who have a lot of time to kill.
There are some companies that, though they may be legitimate, they are still not worth the hassle. It seems that the Magical Gift Company would fall into this category.
