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.

Hmm, I have never heard of this! If this is really true, this is very good information to know! One question though, I wonder what happens if a person's PIN number is a palindrome? For example, 1221? Then it is the same forwards and backwards! Luckily, this is not the case for me lol. Thanks for the info!

I believe palindorme structure would not be allowed to be the pin. I dont know whether this system is active every where around but its for sure. Its real as i have received this fro my bank authority.
