Crimestoppers UK Opiniones 

Complete waste of time. I reported a genuine situation to the Crimestoppers which was happening every Thursday evening and involved a child. I opted to use the anonymous login option but within 12 hours was being told my login was unsuccessful. Strikes me that either they are blocking my IP address which they claim they don't have access to or they are unwilling to challenge the person at this address and have therefore dismissed my genuine concerns outright. DON'T BOTHER WITH CRIMESTOPPERS.

What is the point of these people. They sound totally disinterested.

I echo what many reviews have said here. The call operator said NOTHING apart from hello crimestoppers, and as I proceeded to report an incident, a racist verbal assault in Blackpool as I walked passed a pub, the call operater hung up on me. What????? This is BEYOND unprofessionalism, it's actually criminal. Unfit for purpose, embarrassing non-existent service, non transparent, untrustworthy and unregulated.

Seriously de-fund this despicable fraudulent charity, it's run by dangerous Charletons, a bunch of criminals, needs shutting down NOW.

I want to see channel 4 Dispatches investigate these criminals.

If you scroll down the page you'll see a the FAKE 5 star review on here, clearly authored by one of it's staff workers. Defending the useless organization based on a weak argument he claims "crime needs evidence."

Actually, the 5 star review is Incorrect. Otherwise why would police officers physically attend incidents which reported verbal insults of s sexual or racial or religious / cultural nature, or where a disabled person felt threatened from things that someone said to them, and why would the police investigate or attend a situation where a member of public felt alarmed and distressed by an innocent person filming / taking videos and recording in public spaces in a harmless non-insidious manner. If the public happen to be in the background of the camera shots, it's legal and permitted. We have 24 hour recordings directed at us ALL on CCTV by public authorities and on public transport, so there's no difference. But all of a sudden we see police presence when a person rings 101 because a camera is viewed like a weapon.

Therefore, DO NOT tell me that all crimes need evidence. In every case, there is a moral issue, and a legal issue. Stop invalidating people's experiences. Victim Bias Complex, at its finest.

Complete waste of time, serious crimes reported twice and nothing happens

THERE IS NO PAYMENT REWARD PERIOD !!.. INFORMATION LEADING TO ARRESTS AND SIEZURES AND THEN THEY CAN TELL YOU THERE IS NO REWARD..WORSE THAN THE CRIMINALS !! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING !!!

Reported two separate incident and absolutely nothing has happened either time, an absolute waste of time and I wont be using it again. Crime pays apparently

I mimic what others are saying about this organisation! I have some information about someone, that might help to piece together a timeline of events. This is someone already known to the police, of which they are appealing for further information, where they have given, as well as the non-emergency police line, the crime stoppers contact, in order to report this information. So I say and did this last night on the crime stoppers page and set up an anonymous log in. I tried to log in several times to check that it was all working ok, which it was, then I tried this morning, and I can’t log in at all, and it’s saying my log in attempt has failed! No questions, no reasoning, no thank you for your information it will be passed on accordingly, nothing! Now I’m left wondering if this information will be passed on or not. Probably not. As I’ve now noticed that it stipulates several incidences where this is not the channel of which to report it. Such as:
Report an emergency,
You are a victim of crime,
Benefit fraud,
Scam emails or phone calls,
Untaxed vehicles,
Minor driving offences,
Dumped vehicles,
Noise complaints,
Fly-tipping,
Missing people.
What can you report then??
Ridiculous!

Tried to ring Crime Stoppers for a second time. Spoke to a gentleman who asked me to hold and then cut me off. Sadly, it seems to me, they are really not very interested in getting information to help in stopping crime. I will not bother to ring them again.

Absolutely appalling! Shocking in fact. The woman who answered the phone was abrupt and rude. She had zero interest in what I was telling her from the first moment, basically telling me that they did not deal with certain issues even though there are many signs that advertise their number. Honestly, do not even bother to consider them. It made me feel bad. This extremely rude and useless woman just hung up on me basically. It was as stark a contrast as possible from the lady at VOICE Victim Support that I spoke with yesterday, who was so pleasing to talk with and very helpful indeed with top notch telephone manner.
If I could give Crimestoppers zero stars I would. Waste of time. Some "charity" - it should be de-listed.

I am honestly hurt and shaken up how I was treated by a call respondent.I felt uncomfortable and worried to say my issue as I feel I was a stupid victim and it was my fault I got scammed. I spoke to the respondent and with a demanding tone she said “what’s your crime?” And I said “scammed” and she said again in a more aggressive tone “why did you do it and what was it for” which I felt completely embarrassed to say, as I felt I was being treated like a clown more then I felt. I am also very young but was not asked. When I told her why I sent it, she proceeded to say “okay we’ll call 111 bye.” And ended the call . I was completely shaken up. I understand they may deal with completely other cases but it is a help line for all. For me to feel my issue was pointless to discuss was out of bound. My mental state has deteriorated and calling this line did not make any things better.

Reported a daily drink driver twice. No change so assume no action. If Crimestoppers reported him to the police I have to assume they haven't responded. This doesn't surprise me as we are paying more and more for an ineffective police service.

Contacted the Metropolitan Police anti-corruption unit twice regarding a family of criminals that have too much influence over the police in Wandsworth. There was no response, the said family have been able to pervert the course of justice for eight years - Wandsworth police cover for them. What is the difference between the MPS and the Mafia?

-The Anti-Corruption line for the Met police is a con. They take the bare minimum details and then say someone will contact you in 6 days. They never do. Mainly because the phone back group is run by the Met so 1. They lie that this service is independent and 2. They arent interested in investigating corruption in the Met

Contacted these people in relation to a sexual offence. First woman I spoke with frustrated the hell out of me by asking for info I had already given, to the extent I told her that I was starting to regret making the call. Her response was "to feel free to contact the police on 101" defeating the point of these people even existing. I asked to speak with a manager who, although the info was on the screen in front of her, automatically jumped to the conclusion the offender was Asian. Even to me as a white man something that felt very racist. It became obvious that the first woman was being trained on the job after her manager told me she was sitting by her during the call. Surely due to the serious nature of the some calls they'll receive, they should be fully trained before taking any calls at all. Please don't let this post put you off reporting a crime, that's not my intention. This is here to make you aware that you might speak to someone untrained & come up against unsavoury behavior, even from a manager who should know better. Hopefully someone from the organisation reads this & resolves the issues internally. There are clear issues that need to addressed.

Absolutely crap. No help at all. I spoke to A guy from the charity who was pretty much laughing down the phone. I have some suspicion of sex trafficking they said that I need more information e.g. like the persons name and address. How would I know the persons name and address when they’re using a fake name and website. If you need to report a crime do not approach the charity it’s a waste of time, report it straight to the police. Stay safe.

Absolutely useless, reported a habitual drink driver gave his reg make model etc, times he drinks where he drinks and where he parks, this was early December, he's still doing it end of December, been in pub and watched him down 4 lagers watching racing.

Terrible staff. I was mocked whilst giving information for a rape!

Got through quickly but the woman was very off hand from the start, to the point that I just hung up before I actually got to speak about why i had called. To give me such a bad vibe for calling is just unacceptable! Even as a volunteer she should be mindful that people ring in extremely vulnerable situations or people with serious information to give. Come on Crimestoppers are you actually regulating these calls? This lady has let you down.

Very unfair reviews here. Over 90% of their calls are from business competitor, angry ex wives and malicious calls. They have an excellent system to vet these and many reviews here claiming they won’t take action as there is no evidence. We do not live in a dystopia and crime needs evidence
