An unemployed man who went to bed with 90p in his bank account claims he woke up the next morning to discover he was £1.2million overdrawn.
Tyler Daniels, 21, said he has been locked out of his account while Barclays conducts a fraud investigation after he noticed the unusual bank statement.
He claims he has now been forced to borrow money from his grandfather and has been left feeling 'so stressed' following the ordeal.
Mr Daniels, from Corringham, Essex, said he is unsure why his current account showed that he was overdrawn.
Tyler Daniels, 21, woke up to the see that his bank account was showing that he was£1,119,999.00 overdrawn
He has now spoken of his horror after claiming he woke up one morning and noticed that his current account showed that he was minus £1,119,999.00.
Mr Daniels said his current account does not even have an overdraft facility and wrote online that he has spent hours talking to his bank to try and resolve the situation.
He wrote on Facebook: 'I woke up to my current account overdrawn by almost 1.2 million.
'I have been on the phone to Barclays for over 2 hours talking to various departments including the fraud department.
'I went to my local Barclays branch to take cash out my savings account to live on whilst my current account was suspended.
'I was then told in branch that I couldn't take cash out my savings account as Barclays has blocked all my accounts.'
His current account showed that he was -£1,119,999.00 and he has no idea what it happened
Speaking to Mirror.co.uk, he said: 'I don't even have a £1 overdraft, never mind a seven-figure one, so how anyone's managed to withdraw that kind of money I have no idea.
'I'm having to borrow money off my granddad and the stress of the whole situation is making me ill - it's like a surreal nightmare.'
A mini bank statement showed that four £250,000 sums were withdrawn from his account before £200,000 was then taken out which left him with a balance of -£1,199,999.10.
A Barclays spokesman said: 'From the detail included in the mini statement, it is evident that the transactions could only have been made using login security information for the mobile banking app.
'We are carrying out a thorough investigation.'
