Not sure how true this is, and not about to try it out for fun. But if you're in such a predicament, you can only try it out...
Should you ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin number in reverse.
For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would input 4321. The ATM should subsequently recognise the backwards pin code.
Thereafter the machine will still give you the money as per our request, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediatly notified.
(Apparently), this information was broadcasted on TV suggesting it is seldom used.
Thanks Pam for your email, but what if the pin is 1221?
