4 monthsThis wasn’t a scam or anything dodgy. My energy company rang me up to offer a chat with someone who could check if I’m getting all the benefits I should, especially since I’m off work and waiting for surgery. I’d actually forgotten about agreeing to it, so the call wasn’t a surprise once it happened.6 monthsTotal scam without a doubt. I’d advise steering clear of them. Got a call where they left a voicemail about IncomeMax perks, just like others said before.IncomeMax1 yearSo, I actually asked my energy provider, OVO, for a recommendation, and that's how I got connected with IncomeMAX.OVOIncomeMAX2 yearsI heard about INCOMEMAX through my energy supplier - they suggested I check them out.
