Not sure if this is true but ....

[DebbieM]

just in case. However in this situation I don't think I'd be able to remember my PIN the right way round!

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.

Hi Debbie,
This was also posted on the ExAirborne forum in the UK by one of the members who is in the Met, and he got it from one of their internal news articles, so, if you believe a Met policeman, it could actually be true

Hi

Never heard of this but if true would be fantastic.

Can you contact your bank and let us know if this applies to all ATM's

[punky]

Unfortunately, it is fake.
