Recently, I’ve received numerous forwarded mails regarding the title above. The whole message was like this : “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. Please pass this along to everyone possible.” Broadcasted on tv? Has anyone seen it? or even better, has anyone tried it? Is it applicable here in Malaysia or its some overseas message? If anyone has more details, do share them with us here =)

I’m one of the person that don’t know about this. I don’t think i saw anything like this in TV, maybe is missed it. Hope that if someone know about this can give this a confirmation.
i know.. maybe we should give it a try someday see if its true..haha we’ll try at atm that are near to a police station then even if it’s true it wouldn’t too much of a hassle for them to come and also of coz we don’t have to wait too long for that to happen
haha
Latest update
I found out from this website http://www.snopes.com/business/bank/pinalert.asp
that the atm reversal number myth is now proven wrong
do take note
maybe that service would be available sometime later in the future
