Man charged $23 quadrillion for cigarettes

Josh Muszynski only went out to buy a pack of cigarettes ... but he came home with a debt bigger than most countries GDP.

A banking blunder meant that his credit card had been charged a whopping $23,148,855,308,184,500 for a single packed of cigarettes.

Josh, from New Hampshire, noticed the error when he checked his balance online and saw the 17-digit number, ominously preceded by a minus symbol, he had even been charged a $15 overdraft fee.

He called the bank and demanded to know what had happened, they weren't quite sure but agreed that he probably hadn't spent that much at the local petrol station.

It took several calls and 24 hours for the error to be rectified, I'm guessing Josh probably wouldn't have been so desperate to get it sorted had the minus symbol not been there.
