PIN Number Reversal
Submitted by Gary Skill
I don't know if this is true, but try it if you have occasion to need it!!    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 should 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. TOGGLE Editor's Note:    Very Doubtful! For example: 1221, 3333, etc. won't work! When inquiries about this were made at Tacoma branches of Bank of America and Key Bank no one had even heard of this. We think it is a hoax, urban legend, whatever.
