How to notice police station using ATM number?

January 27, 2010 By: admin Category: Idea Box, Security

What happen if you were 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 8233 then you would put in 3328. 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 security guide was broadcasted on TV as well even though it is seldom used because people don’t know it exists.

*Depends on country/ area/ responsibility of policeman as well
