Emergency ATM #

ATM PIN EMERGENCY # CODE TO ALERT POLICE!

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. You can go to snopes to verify.

Yes, but if you check at Snopes they will verify that it is false.

Good grief, got this email from my sister, should have check it myself.

If it were true, it wouldn't work if your # was something like 2882.

[Kathyhere]

Yea that's true. This could give you a false sense that you would get help. I had to send out a couple of retractions, so people would not believe it like I did.
