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, and bogus competitions are some of
the areas that the 'rip off tip off' team want to hear about.

As with most organisations the resources which are available do not enable us to
do all that we would like. We therefore have to prioritise our activities. The Customer
Consultation Form lists some major areas of activity for the Trading Standards Service. Please
indicate how important each area is to you.
