A pack of cigarettes never cost you $23,148,855,308,184,500....


If you swipe your VISA card at a grocery store and buy some cut okra or a tropicana orange juice and pay a bill of less than 10$ and when you get back home and see your bank account and see that your account balance is $23,148,855,308,184,500. What would you do? How would you pay that back? What would be your first reaction?

What would I have done??? First I would faint, then after regaining consciousness, I would see my account again and then I would faint again. I don't know until when it would keep happening. Really I am like that.

But this scenario has struck a few unsuspected customers of VISA credit cards from various banks. They had this weird 23 quadrillion dollars of transactions in their Visa credit and debit card statements. Visa reported that nearly 13000 transactions were effected by this technical glitch. But how many hearts must have pounded like crazy, that is priceless. That's why I reiterate, there are some things that money can't buy, for everything else there is 'MasterCard'....
