Man Charged $23 Quadrillion for Cigarettes

[adamparkzer]

I read in the news earlier that a man named Josh Muszynski was charged $23,148,855,308,184,500 (that's over $23 quadrillion) after he purchased a pack of cigarettes at the local gas station with his debit card.

When he was interviewed by WMUR-TV, Muszynski said, "I thought my card had been compromised. I thought somebody had bought Europe with my credit card. It was very concerning."

(The original article by WMUR/CBS can be found here.)

Europe's not worth that much.

You can have us for £20, & we'll throw in a free wine glass. ;)

Seen that on my internet homepage. It apparently happened to several people with prepaid credit cards. They say it's fixed now.
