Not sure if this is valid or
not, but worth trying if ever
in that situation..
Important information
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 broadcasted on TV and it states that it
is
seldom used
because people don't know it exists.
Please pass this along to everyone possible.
i havent checked to see if this is true-havent had time but thought it was worth posting in case.
