PIN number reversal

[Twocoda]

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 number in reverse

For example if your PIN is 1234 then you would enter 4321

The ATM recognizes that your PIN 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 broadcast on CTV and it states that it isw seldom used because people dont know it exists.

 

Check with your bank and i hope no one has to ever use it

 

Have a safe Holidays Everyone!

Plus they would have to incorporate some sort of phone line that goes dirrectly to the police. A panic button would work better in my opinion, but still not help much?
