Rip-Off Tip-Off is a website designed to provide an on-line facility for consumers or traders to tell the 'rip-off tip-off' team, anonymously if they wish, about rogue traders who they suspect are ripping off the public.

 

Rogue builders and car dealers, unscrupulous doorstep traders, traders who sell or make counterfeit goods, loan sharks, bogus homeworking schemes are some of the areas that the 'rip-off tip-off' team want to hear about.

 

Unfortunately, in every trading area there are rogues who want to cheat us out of our money and who are constantly looking for new ways in which to do it. It's not only consumers who suffer, other traders are often disadvantaged by unfair trading competition.

 

People are often reluctant to 'get involved' or report a 'rip-off'. This on-line facility now means that they can provide information about a rogue trader without supplying any personal details.

 

Rip-Off Tip-Off is a collaboration between the Department of Trade and Industry and trading standards services across the country.
