One of the newer voip phone services is the Magic Jack. It isn’t really a scam but does have some aspects of its business that make you think it is.  For instance, all of those late night infomercials that they run.  Anything advertised like that in the middle of the night makes you wonder if it is truly legit, especially when it is so cheap.  At 20 bucks a year for the service I had to ask myself what was the catch?  So I bought one, and there truly aren’t any hidden fees or anything like that, and it works pretty well too.  I ordered mine from the official website and that looks kind of scammy also.  It says only ten or twenty thousand left to sell and then you go back the next day and the message is still there.  I don’t know why marketers use that type of ad any more, seems like everyone would have caught on to that garbage by now.  Then there’s the fact that there isn’t a phone number posted anywhere on their website, nor in the packaging when you receive the Magic Jack.  The company does provide a lot of propaganda about how online customer service is better, maybe it is but it just seems weird for a phone company not to have a phone number, don’t you think?
