ATM PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know !!

ATM   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 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 ATM's carry this emergency sequencer by law. 

This information was recently broadcast on by Crime Stoppers
however it is seldom used because people just don't know about it.


I want to try it just to see if the police do turn up!!! ;D

Fantastic info! Thanks, hope I never have to use it  :-\

[lisaparkin]

Don't know if it really works, we need someone to try it out.  Any volunteers?  ;D

[rosebud]

 FANTASTICO, thank you for that.  I havent got the bottle incase i get into trouble for wasting police time. ;D ;D

It's rubbish.  It's just another example of the junk stuff that clogs up the interwebz.

this has gone off scale on my cobblers-ometer

i tried having a PIN of 1234 and it wouldn't let me also

and it's not PIN number. N stands for number

excuse while i open the car with my phone......left the key round a mate's. Get him to press the button down the phone

[lincsyokel2]

of course, if you set your PIN to 1111, it either wont work or it'll call the Police every time..............

[djbrenton]

It's nonsense. I'm amazed it's still doing the rounds. I first heard this when I had to stoke the boiler to fire up my interent, and that was before they'd even invented PIN's.

The idea was first mooted in 1994 but was never implemented.

The car thing apparently does work. My sister and the bailiffs from the court she works at tried it on her car, as she'd heard about it.
she wanted to know if it worked as I had at that time i'd recently locked 3 x 4 month olds in my car with the keys inside. Thankfully for me the AA turned up in 10 minutes, could have kissed the guy when he opened the door. I was getting very close to putting a brick through a window though.

The car thing does work, I've demonstrated it. Hardly rocket science. When you click your remote you're sending a sequence of sounds ( albeit outisde human range. Transmitting those sounds over a phone is a natural thing and if you hold the phone at the other end of the call near enough your remote receiver then the signal will get through. Snopes believes that the method of transmitting data precludes this but I've seen it with my own eyes.

I wish i'd known about it when I locked the babies in the car. Specially as one of the babies wasnt mine!
That wasnt a conversatoin I wanted to repeat, ............err im sorry but ive just locked the kids in the car!

[Digeroo]

I once put in my pin in reverse by mistake.  The police turned up in a pink police car wearing green spotty pyjamas. ;D

actually I don't have a  remote key on my car. I just got me mate to hold the old type key next to the phone and turn it in a clockwise direction

 ;D Bugloss :P

Ahh now you see thats where you went wrong, to unlock it it should have been anti clockwise  :P

me neither, you have to hold mine.

of course I was a complete idiot. That trick will only work with a video phone. I feel such a fool

Even if it was by ultrasonic frequencies, phones are incapable of transmitting high frequencies, so that's b*******s too.
I wish people would try out these things before passing them on.

At least it gives a good laugh at how gullible some people are.  :D
