PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)

I have never tried this but it might be worthwhile to keep in mind….. just incase it ever happens to you.

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.

This is a bogus email making the rounds.

Yeh, normally I would just ignore it, but I thought given the nature of this eRumour (weapons involved...) I thought I'd step in and dispel it.
