Robber at ATM machine

ATM - PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know

In case you found yourself in the not-so-comforting situation of being robbed in an ATM location. Here’s what to do -

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. All you can hope for next is that the police will reach in time.
