MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire man says he swiped his debit card at a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes and was charged over 23 quadrillion dollars.
Josh Muszynski (Moo-SIN'-ski) checked his account online a few hours later and saw the 17-digit number - a stunning $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars).
Muszynski says he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers and the $15 overdraft fee.
The bank corrected the error the next day.
Bank of America tells WMUR-TV only the card issuer, Visa, could answer questions. Visa, in turn, referred questions to the bank.

Oh jeez, that's hilarious and stupid! I'd actually get a kick out of that if it happened to me..
 
Sounds like something that would happen to us with our luck! Only our bank would probably still INSIST that's how much the cigarettes cost!
 
ROFLOL... My wife would kill me first... and then make me get on the phone to fix things with the bank later!

Simply too funny!!!
 
maybe they swiped his card and the amount was his card number?

once while working i swiped a card as cash so it was some HUGE number, but that was easy to fix
 
They better have been some good cigarettes. Like, instead of causing cancer they cure it!. I mean, for a second that man brought the average American's credit card debt to about 5 million dollars a piece. That's some inflation!.
 
LOL that is so old ;) but imagine if it was the other way around? The bank deposited that. Would you tell? :nope: :noevil:
