Know your ATM machine

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.
