Jako Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Years ago I had a similar problem. I received a new fuel card from my employer. They were charged € 4,000,000,- for the card instead of € 4,-[:D]It got swiftly mobbed under the carpet because nobody wanted to acknowledge this was even possible.
