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.

that happened in nh? too funny..lol good thing I quit 4 1/2 yrs ago but you have to be carfull, I almost got charged 200.00 for a 20.00 tire repair last week, always check the reciept

No wonder the military is trying to ban soldiers from smoking in certain situations

What I found funny about that story was the 15 dollar overdraft fee. Yea, like that fee really matter, next to that much cash in the negative.

Ummm...maybe he could switch to a different brand??
