backwards pin numbers

[ruthless]

has anybody heard of this?

im tempted to go try it.



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.

try it out and let us know if it works

according to snopes this isn't true.

Bull shit.

You should know better than to post chain letters on forums. Youd do better to buy a gun than listen to what people tell you as "truth". Who the hell would trust their life to something they heard on the interwebs.

that was my first reaction, and i would also assume if you put in the wrong pin, it wouldn't give you anything.

Actually, I heard that if you feed an atm a stray cat, the cops will come looking for you.

 

[ruthless]

around here it seems to be easier just to take the whole machine

god I wish people would fact check

Okay now I want to find the news articles about the guy who hacked an ATM so it gave out 20's thinking it was giving out 5's... so if you asked for $100, it would shoot out 20 20's thinking it was shooting out 20 5's... IIRC it took a week before someone was honest about it and brought it to the attention of the authorities.
