Skippy Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 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 number in reverse. For example, if your pin number is 1234, then you would put in 4321. The ATM system 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 the location. This information was recently broadcasted on TV by Crime Stoppers however it is seldom used because people just don't know about it. Just thought I'd share this info with you guys. love Skippy xxxxx Quote
bogbrush Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Hey Skippy I have trouble remembering my pin forwards, let alone backwards Great tip though. Regards Keith Quote
Tina Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Hi Skippy Thanks for the tip Now you guys are going to have to let us know the stories behind your nick names.... please Love Tinaxx Quote
bogbrush Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I've done a bit of digging on this one. It's a myth. Not true. It's been doing the rounds for years apparently. Google "reverse pin number" and you'll see what I mean. The system could never work with a palindromic pin, 2002, 4884 for example.
