Post Office charges lady Four trillion $
VIdeo Here
BARTLETT, TN- We are all paying more for postage these days, but one Bartlett woman discovered she had been charged nearly 5 trillion dollars to send a UPSP priority package. Kathy Poletti didn't have any plans to go out of town for the memorial day weekend, and says that's a good thing. Monday she received an email from her bank stating her accounts had been frozen due to illegal check card activity. "I glanced at it and thought I ought to check it out and see if I see anything unusual," said Poletti. Poletti called her bank and listened to an automated recording of her pending transactions.. And that's when she heard something very unusual. The automated voice told her there had been a check card purchase for $5.25 cents from the U.S. Postal service along with a 4 trillion, 719 Billion, 449 million, 550,000, 662.000 purchase. "I was a little floored 4 trillion dollars us postal office. I said excuse me and I kept hitting repeat. Poletti showed us the receipt for her postal purchase ... just $5.25. She isn't sure where the 4 trillion dollar figure came from and was afraid the mistake would clean out her account. "My first thought was they are trying to balance the budget off the Poletti's> Poletti spent much of the morning on the phone with her bank and was assured there was nothing wrong with her account. In fact, they couldn't explain what had happened. "I have no idea where that 4 trillion came from. I would like it deposited in my bank at least some of it," said Poletti. To give you an idea how much 4 trillion dollars is. The U.S. national debt is just below nine trillion.

Recently a woman in Minneapolis accidentally received a $2.5 million check from Hennepin County. It was meant to go to the Hennepin County Medical Center. Apparently she was in the county's payment system because she once was paid a $40 witness fee to appear in court. Her county account number was one digit off the HCMC account number. Unfortunately she went on a spending spree instead of giving it back.
Maybe some of the 4 trillion from the credit card charge got diverted to the Minneapolis woman. I'll keep an eye on my accounts in case some of it shows up there. It had to go somewhere!

She was stocking up on those "forever" stamps.
She'll make a tidy profit when the post office has their next rate hike next year.
