“Good afternoon, Electronic Recycling; can I help you?”
“Do you recycle computers”
“ Yes, that’s what we do, what kind of equipment do you have?”
“Just a couple of old office PCs and a printer”
“OK we can handle that, do you want to drop it in or have us collect it?”
“Is there a cost if you collect it?”
“ Yes, there’s a cost either way, if you drop them into us the cost would be €22.50 per computer and Monitor and €7.50 for the printer plus VAT and there’s a minimum collection charge of €45 plus VAT”
“But I thought I could have this recycled free of charge”
“If you are a domestic consumer you can drop it off at your local Civic Amenity site free of charge or if you have replaced the equipment, your supplier should have taken the old equipment from you free of charge. If you are a business and just getting rid of old equipment without replacing it, you are responsible for the correct disposal yourself.
“Ok Thanks”
“You’re welcome and thank you for calling Electronic Recycling”
“ Hey Mary, I checked on the internet and there’s a civic amenity site at Stand Avenue where we can drop those computers off “
“But Jimmy, I thought the girl in Electronic Recycling said you could only use a Civic Amenity site if it was domestic stuff”
“How will they know, we’ll be in the car not the van”
“What’s this we stuff Jimmy, why do you need me to go ?”
“Well, I thought that seeing as we will be close to town, we could go for a pizza or something after we drop the computers off”
“OK, let me put my face on”
“Jeez, what’s with the traffic, it’s backed up as far as I can see, there must be an accident or something, the Civic Amenity site will be closed by the time we get through”
“I was right, it’s closed, let’s park the car and go get something to eat”
“That was a nice couple of hours Mary”
“Yeah, thanks Jimmy, the Pizza was really nice, I love that restaurant and it’s not too expensive, we should go there more often”
“Ah Jayzus Mary will ye look at the car, the windows are smashed, and wouldn’t you know it, the computers are gone, the dishonest, thieving rats”
“I’ll have to report it, let’s go around to Stone Street Garda Station, it’s not far”
“OK Sir, that’s noted for you, if we catch the culprits and recover the computers we’ll let you know”
“Don’t worry about the computers Gard, I was bringing them to the Civic Amenity site to dump them anyway, I just needed to make a report to claim from the insurance”
“Might as well go home Mary, there’s nowhere to get that window fixed over the weekend, I’ll get it done on Monday”
“Well Jimmy, how did it go”
“Don’t talk to me, Mick in the garage quoted me €250 to fix the damage and replace the window. I phoned the insurance and they only cover windscreen breakage and if I claim for the body damage there’s a €250 excess on the Policy. It took all day, so I lost a day’s work for the van as well”
“Ah well Jimmy, at least you got rid of the old computer stuff”
"Yeah, that's true Mary"
“Hello, can I speak to Jimmy McGuire”
“This is Jimmy McGuire”
“Mr McGuire, this is Garda O’Brien from the Serious Crime Division, you reported a car break-in and some computers stolen six weeks ago”
“Yeah, that right”
“Well Mr McGuire, you may need to call your bank, we found your personal information during our investigations into an identity theft gang, and it looks like your banking information has been accessed.
“Good Morning NEI Bank can I help you”
“Yes, can I speak to the manager”
“Can I ask who is calling”
“Yeah, Jimmy McGuire”
“And can I ask what it’s in connection with Mr McGuire?”
“I need to check on my bank accounts”
“OK, hang on, I’ll put you through to accounts, they should be able to help you”
“Hello, Mr McGuire” how can I help you?”
“I just want to check on the balances in my bank accounts”
“Well Mr McGuire, we wrote to you yesterday regarding your accounts. After you withdrew €10,000 from your savings account and €2000 from you current account last week, you now do not have enough money to cover your direct debits and I can see some cheques in the system today, which you don’t have enough funds to cover. Will you be making a lodgement?”
“I’ll have to come back to you”
“Mary, The bank accounts have been cleared out, the scumbags whole stole the computers used the information from the hard drive and took €12,000 from our accounts.
“Jimmy, I know you were trying to save money but you should have brought those computers to Electronic Recycling”
“I know Mary, I know”
