Woman charged four trillion dollar postage

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. On 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.
