When Yahaya Wahab\u2019s father passed away in January 2006, Yahaya had his father\u2019s phone disconnected and paid the final bill of 84 ringgit (approximately $23) to Telekom Malaysia. He was then surprised to receive another bill from the phone company in April. He was utterly shocked, however, after looking at what was inside.<\/p>\n
It was a bill for 806,400,000,000,000.01 ringgit (approximately $218 trillion), along with a threatening letter informing Yahaya that he must pay the bill within ten days or face prosecution. It wasn\u2019t initially clear whether the monstrous charge was a mistake or if Yahaya\u2019s father\u2019s phone line had been used illegally after his death. What was immediately clear, however, was that the bill represented a debt that Yahaya would never be able to pay.<\/p>\n
