Hi Tom,
Check this link to a court case in UK.

http://www.asa.org.uk/adjudications/show_adjudication.asp?adjudication_id=31783&from_index=by_media&dates_of_adjudications_id=all 


The case was advertising claims of the magnetic descaler.
The judgement was against the defendant. It was found that descalers do 
prevent scale buildup, but it takes longer than 8 weeks to remove old 
scale deposits as claimed in the ads. The penalty was that they had to 
rewrite the ad.

GT is correct. Magnets have no effect on water.
Magnetic fields have an effect on the calcium carbonate ions dissolved 
in the water.
To quote ScaleBlaster,
"As the induced electric field oscillates, all particles which have an 
electrical charge are affected by the induced field. This causes the 
unstable mineral ions to precipitate or collide with each other to the 
point where the calcium carbonate crystals grow until they become so 
large that there are no more surface charges left to stick to the pipe 
walls. These calcium molecules precipitate into an aragonite form and 
flow through the system. As a byproduct of this "snowball" effect, freed 
water molecules become available to remove existing scale, molecule by 
molecule."

Probably the electronic versions work better than the bar magnet types.
