this message is doing the rounds at the moment. i normally just delete them on sight but I read this one. i just don’t believe it is true…
unless you know otherwise?

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.

If that was true the banks would have told you via a letter.

And what if your PIN number is 2112?

this has probably been sent out by the crim’s to make you feel just that little bit better when they take your money

and with a wave of the hand they bid you to ‘have a nice day’

tis the season of goodwill see
