Reversed PIN - 1/20/2007 11:07:57 AM

Status: offline 		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 234 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.

The reverse of 234 is 4321? How curious

Just pickup the shell casings that were ejected and take off.

Of course, since the ATM has recorded a camera of you shooting a person, along with your pin number time stamped, the police might come to the conclusion that you murdered somebody and then fled the scene of the crime.

Good call, popeye1250.

Status: offline 		I posted it because the person I got it from SHOULD have known better.  LOL  I got it in my regular e-mail and then sent it out to a bunch of friends.  The hilarious part was that when I checked my e-mail just a few minutes later, I had 2 responses which included that snopes link.  I e-mailed the original sender and told her and can't wait to see her response!
