Good to knowA friend passed this on to me and I thought you might find it interesting!This is good to know, sorry if you already do! ATM - 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 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 CTV by Crime Stoppers however it is seldom used because people just don't know about it. Keith |

It's rubbish. This was sent out in an email a number of years ago and disproved then. Sorry, Keith. But would have been a nice idea if it did work.
