PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM
machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.

For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM
recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed
in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but
unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.


This information was recently broadcast on TV and it states that it is seldom
used because people don't know it exists.

Please pass this along to everyone possible.

well knowing how long it takes our police to respond ,the robber would be long gone before they got there.

So the Police show up after the robber kills you and the robber is gone, but hey, at least the ATM called the police to come pick up your corpse, you know someone may trip over your dead body, and that is a safety hazard...
