I got this in an email and decided to share with everyone:


PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION ON.
THE RECENT TRAGEDY OF A YOUNG WOMAN BEING KIDNAPPED AND EVENTUALLY
KILLED;AFTER SHE HAD REPEATEDLY GIVEN THE KIDNAPPER A WRONG PIN TO HER ATM CARD. IF SHE KNEW THE METHOD BELOW, SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. SO I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO LET YOU KNOW. HERE YOU GO.


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 FR OM 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 FOX TV AND IT STATES THAT IT IS
SELDOM USED BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IT EXISTS.
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG. You can go on snopes to verify.

Is this true?

I'm too lazy to read it, but I think it's false?

I wonder if its true....Im gonna test this tommorow.

Found a better articles, it seems to be a spam message

lol at 4774

lol.... guess its a good thing that i wrote may save your life...

Lateesha is gonna remember this stunt next time her bank tells her she hasnt any green left in her account.

lmao I can see it (if it was true).

Police come to the gas station. What's wrong sir? Oh nothing, I was just testing out this theory and well darn, I think it's proven true. *smiles with glee*

Police shakes their head and walks away...

Yeah, but if the lady didn't know her pin number then what difference does it make to put it backwards. Anyway, I'll keep this tip in mind.

It would suck if your pin was palindromic.

Yeah I believed this for a while (luckily I never had the chance to try it out), but later found out it was fake.

I think this is a good idea, but the fact that they put it on the news is a bad idea? Well then again how are we supposed to know ?

somehow doubt this

LOL well i will be dead cause i don't konw my pin number

This is weird...

I don't think it could be true..... what if you had the # 2373 .... and then someone else had the # 3732 ?

That's cool if it is true

You would panic in real life and would do what the robber says. You wont have time to think to put it in backwards.

Is it true? Than good!"

WOOOW That's really good, I didn't even know about it

for real?
I dun believe it....

highly doubt this one.
but it is a good idea.
