This 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.

Total 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.

I got a message from 01708209490 from some company named Incomax. When I tried to delete that message without even opening it, suddenly all the messages from my other contacts got wiped out too. How on earth could they have accessed all my messages just because I deleted one message without reading it? This is really worrying… I’ve reported it to the police now.

Income max rang me today… not sure where they got my number from… I didn’t pick up, but they left me a voicemail and even a text… now I’m a bit suspicious about why they’re so keen to help me. How do they even know if I’m having money troubles or can't pay bills? I haven’t talked about my finances with anyone… no interest in dealing with them… feels like it could be a scam…

This is a firm named Income Max - linked to the energy providers, they check your earnings to find out if you qualify for any extra support like pension credits and such. They also connect you with someone who deals with energy saving stuff, like giving out free light bulbs, radiator foils, draught stoppers and the like. They’re not a scam at all, but a proper, legit business. I’ve received quite a few energy-saving things from them without paying anything.

The person calling spoke with a foreign accent and already knew my name, they were trying to sell me life insurance. Even when I said I wasn’t interested, they kept going. I tried to end the call but couldn’t, felt like they were stopping me from hanging up.

It’s rather baffling, isn’t it? They must be aware that I can’t communicate over the phone, yet they keep ringing me. They already possess my email, so why the incessant calls? Since losing my voice to cancer, I've found solace in the minimal contact I maintain. My phone serves mainly for medical appointments and communications with the doctors; otherwise, I’d happily part with it altogether.

I have discovered that this phone number belongs to IncomeMAX, known as the specialists in entitlements and benefits. My contact details were shared by Southern Water. Rest assured, it’s a legitimate number. Go ahead and pick up the phone, respond to a couple of queries, and they'll cease calling you afterwards.
