Absolutely useless service

Absolutely useless service. Rude and unprofessional telephone operator. They pick and choose which crimes they want to take information on. She hung up on me after using an aggressive tone of voice. She refused to take my crime complaint even though the gov.uk government website clearly states what happened to me is illegal and my issue can only be dealt with by the police and I only wish to report this anonymously. But since the service hung up on me, there's no point to their service being offered really. They should be ashamed, a crime is a crime, they shouldn't get to pick and choose and hang up rudely on victims like they did with me.

An abismal experience trying to communicate with Crimestoppers online. I wanted to give further information that had come to light but the 2 way login had stopped working. I phoned and the operator was rude and unprofessional blaming me for the login problem. A huge waste of time, I will never bother trying to the right thing via this charity again.

Standing ovation

A fine performance, Crimestoppers, you had us all going!

There we were, on the sidelines, thinking this...whatever it is - concern, organisation, etc...was supposed to be a public 'service' (that word, respective to all sides of every matter) support-line, for people to gain assistance in the form of actual help, a natural entitlement for all, when in fact, the whole image is a big circus trick.

No, we are not entitled to complain about anything with an equal right to measured appropriation; the reality, you can complain about some things, and not others, the consequence being safety or injury and life or death, solely dependent upon whether Crimestoppers sees your complaint as fitting in with their own perspective concerning what should or should not be complained about and not whether it should as based upon principles of justice.

How exhausting. Yet, another splat from the effects of the dulled, in their shamelessly raised fist to socialist conformity.

This one was worthy of the box-office, the way people were offered assistance where the result is dung - excellently-trained thespians on the end of these lines.

I complained about a leak of information repeatedly happening behind-the-scenes - one such reason, if not the very one, as to why some filthy slugs-of-humanity have and still are getting away with personal injury on a daily basis - on the part of people who are paid to remain unbias as a matter of personal and professional duty (I have actual evidence of this information-breach sent off to places, already), and Crimestoppers had the thick-skin in reply to dismiss even the slightest possibility that such people could ever be treacherous in this way...

Really? Read the newspapers. Do some research, Crimestoppers, and edify yourselves from the position of naivety. Crime is not only 'crime' if carried out by civilians.

Crimestoppers proverbially stabbed people's rights in the back.
