A man was accidentally billed more than $23 quadrillion for a pack of cigarettes.
MANCHESTER, N.H. - 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 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.
