How do people get their money from "Crime Stoppers"?

Factual Questions
1

That is basically the question?

They say any tip that leads to an arrest is eligible for a cash reward, but it’s anonymous.

So how do you get your money?

And dopers ever get a payout from “Crime Stoppers”?

They say on the ad that you’re assigned a special code when you call in, and if the tip pans out I assume they flag your code. When you call back they probably tell you you’ve got $100 waiting for you and let you or a friend come pick it up or mail it to you if you’re not worried about the anonymous thing. Just a guess though.

Your’re given a number. You can call back and use your number to check on the status of the case. If you’ve been awarded money, you go to the bank, give them the number and they give you the money. No where along the line do you give out any info about yourself and they don’t use caller ID.
