The most amazing part of this news is not the error. it's this:
"The phone firm insisted the computer-generate bill was accurate."

Ok, I understand these call centers don't hire the brightest bulb on the street, but seriously?
You expect an individual to pay more money than the combined GDP of the entire Earth?
Reminds me of those early computerized billing systems where it's so easy to make a coding mistake here and there.
