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 broadcast on FOX TV and it states
that it
Is seldom used because people don't know it exists.
Please pass this along to everyone possible.

I realize that arguing against the veracity of forwards presented on Right Wing Dad is preaching to the choir, but this story is not only crap, it's dangerous crap. Send your right-wing dads to Snopes:

Man, if your PIN is a palindrome, you're fucked.
I entered my PIN backwards once and the ATM kept my card. The cops never showed up.
Geox, I think I would like to have your babies for that one.
