Anyone Any Experience Of Crimestoppers?

They say that they sometimes pay out a reward, but not always, even if the person grassed up IS arrested.
Has anyone ever rung them and if so, how did you get on?

I reported a drug dealer, I did not give my name. Do not know what action was taken.

I rang them on Saturday on behalf of someone else. They gave me a reward code number and said to ring back in 8 weeks.
I know the person responsible for the crime has been arrested and charged yesterday.
I just wondered what their criteria is for determining if you get a reward and how much

[EDDIE51]

Will only be paid if he/she is actually convicted.Could be a few months yet.

Eddie, I was told (and it says on the website) the offender only has to be arrested and charged....not convicted

I reported a drug dealer, I did not give my name. Do know what action was taken. - Nothing. a variety of neighbours reported the house for months on end
It turned out they were videoing the place

I emailed anonymously about a drink driver that has done this for years, I did not see his car was off the road.
