Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He tangata pakihi i tukuna he pire waea £15,000 e Vodafone i taea anake te whakakore ma te whakatakoto i tetahi nohoanga e toru haora i te tari matua o te umanga. I tukuna atu te nama nui ki a Edward Martin i muri i te whakatakoto a te kamupene waea pūkoro i tētahi utu hou ki a ia, engari i muri i ngā haora e waru i runga i te waea, kāore i taea e ia te whakaae ki a rātau i tō rātau hapa. I te mutunga, i akina ia ki te haere ki te puni ki waho o te tari matua o te kamupene nui o te ao - a he tino hiahia ratou ki te tuku ia ia kia haere atu i reira ka whakakorea e ratou te pire. Wikitoria: I taea e Edward Martin te whakakore i te pire waea £15,000 mā te whakahe ki te tari matua o Vodafone. Ko Mr. Martin, 52, e whakahaere ana i tētahi pakihi kakahu i Tiverton, Devon, i mea i tīmata ana raruraru i te wa i hoatu ai ia ki runga i tētahi kohinga hou, ā, i korerotia ki a ia ka whakahoutia tana pire. Katahi ka tukuna atu e Vodafone ki a ia he raupapa o nga nama kua whakairihia ki te £ 14,949.41 - me te kore e whakamarama he aha i nui ake ai tana utu. 'Kua 21 tau ahau e noho ana hei kiritaki Vodafone, kaore he raruraru,' i kii ia. 'Engari i te marama o Tihema ka waea mai rātau ki a au ki te kī kua hē rātau, ā, ka tātai anō rātau i taku pire. 'Engari kihai rātou i karanga mai ki ahau, kihai hoki i whakamōhio mai ki ahau i roto i te tuhituhi he aha taku utu hou. Ko ta rātau e hiahia ana kia utua e au, engari kāore au e haere ki te utu nā te mea kua hē rātau, ehara i a au. 'Kāore au i whakamahi i ētahi atu karere, raraunga rānei i mua i taku haerenga ki te toa o Exeter ki te tiki i tētahi kirimana hou. Kāore au i te mārama he aha te mea kua huri.' Ka taea e Mr Martin te whakatau i te āhuatanga mā te waea atu ki ngā ratonga kiritaki. He maha nga wa i whakamatau ai ia ki te waea atu ki te kamupene ki te matapaki i te hapa, engari kaore i taea e ia te whakatika i te ahuatanga. 'I whakapau ahau i te waru haora ki te waea ki a ratou i tukuna ki Inia, ka haere ki Johannesburg, ka haere ki Ihipa ka hoki ki Awherika ki te Tonga,' ka mea a Mr Martin. 'I tetahi wa i tatari ahau mo te 27 meneti ki te korero ki tetahi tangata i kii mai ki ahau ka karanga mai ratou ki ahau engari kaore i mahi. He pōhēhē noa iho tērā ki a rātau kiritaki.' I whakatau te kaipakihi ki te mahi nui, ā, inanahi i eke ia...
I tukuna atu te nama nui ki te kaipakihi a Edward Martin e Vodafone i muri i tana huri ki tetahi utu rereke. E waru haora a ia i te waea engari kaore i taea te whakakore i a ia. Na ka haere ia ki te tari matua o te umanga i Newbury ka noho mo nga haora e toru. I te mutunga ka hoki whakamuri ratou i muri i tana kore e pai ki te wehe atu i te whare.
