Entering one's PIN in reverse at any ATM will summon the police.

I just found out that should you ever be forced to withdraw monies from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse. The machine will still give you the monies you requested, but unkown to the robber, etc, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.


The broadcast stated that this method of calling the police is very seldom used because people don't know it exist, and it might mean the difference between life and death. Hopefully, none of you will have to use this, but I wanted to pass it along just in case you hadn't heard of it. Please pass it along to everyone possible.


The above is the email which I got today morning from one of my collegues. So I checked in the internet whether this email is true or not. While surfing and searching I found a interesting website where we can check whether the email message is true or not. I thought of sharing the website with you all. The url is http://www.snopes.com/. To check the above message is true or false visit http://www.snopes.com/business/bank/pinalert.asp
