Consumers and traders are being urged by Barking and Dagenham Trading Standards Team to 'shop' rogue traders online.
In an effort to help stop cowboy traders from ripping-off the public, Trading Standards Services across the Country have joined forces with the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform to develop the new Rip-off tip off website.
The site is designed to provide an online 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, internet traders, bogus home working schemes, bogus competitions are some of the areas that the 'rip-off tip-off' team want to hear about.
Remember, your information could help stop someone else from being conned or ripped-off.
Report all rogue traders to Barking and Dagenham Direct on 020 8215 3000.
